Command line interface
Hi,

I would like to be able to search and open books using the command line interface.

I know how to find a book id :
calibredb list -s [search_pattern]

I know how to open a book from its file name :
ebook-viewer [filename]
(or evince [filename] as I am a linux user)

But I cant figure out how to get the filename from the book id... ?
I dont want to export the book and make a copy of the file... I just want to get the filename of the book IN the library.

Thanks.
