NAME

flickr_upload - Upload photos to flickr.com

SYNOPSIS

flickr_upload [--auth] --auth_token <auth_token> [--title <title>] [--description description] [--public <0|1>] [--friend <0|1>] [--family <0|1>] [--tag <tag>] <photos...>

DESCRIPTION

Uploads images to the Flickr.com service.

OPTIONS

--auth

When defined

--auth_token <auth_token>

Authentication token. Required.

--title <title>

Title to use on all the images. Optional.

--description <description>

Description to use on all the images. Optional.

--public <0|1>

Override the default is_public access control. Optional.

--friend <0|1>

Override the default is_friend access control. Optional.

--family <0|1>

Override the default is_friend access control. Optional.

--tag <tag>

Images are tagged with tag. Multiple --tag options can be given, or you can just put them all into a single space-separated list.

--key <api_key>

--secret <secret>

Your own API key and secret. This is useful if you want to use flickr_upload in auth mode as a token generator. You need both key and secret.

<photos...>

List of photos to upload. Uploading stops as soon as a failure is detected during the upload. The script exit code will indicate the number of images on the command line that were not uploaded. For each uploaded image, the allocated photo identifier (currently just a number) is printed.

CONFIGURATION

To avoid having to remember authentication tokens and such (or have them show up in the process table listings), default values will be read from $HOME/.flickrrc if it exists. Any field defined there can, of course, be overridden on the command line. For example:

# my config at $HOME/.flickrrc
auth_token=334455
is_public=0
is_friend=1
is_family=1

BUGS

Error handling could be better.
