will return the first result from Google Scholar matching this query.
Getting more results:
$ gscholar --all "some author or title"
Same as above but returns up to 10 bibtex items. (Use with caution Google will assume you're a bot an ban you're IP temporarily)
Querying using a pdf:
$ gscholar /path/to/pdf
Will read the pdf to generate a Google Scholar query. It uses this query to show the first bibtex result as above.
Renaming a pdf:
$ gscholar --rename /path/to/pdf
Will do the same as above but asks you if it should rename the file according to the bibtex result. You have to answer with "y", default answer is no.
Getting help:
