$ abook2vcf --help
$ abook2vcf ~/path/to/abook/addressbook ~/path/to/write/contacts.vcf

# ommit the output file to print results to stdout

$ abook2vcf ~/path/to/abook/addressbook


# convert vcf contact/s and write them to your addressbook

$ vcf2abook --help
$ vcf2abook ~/path/to/contact.vcf ~/path/to/abook/addressbook
