Synopsis
========
| ``supysonic-cli folder list``
| ``supysonic-cli folder add`` `name` `path`

Description
===========
The ``supysonic-cli folder`` subcommand manages your library folders, where the
audio files are located. This allows to list, add, delete and scan the folders.
``supysonic-cli folder list``
List all the folders.
``supysonic-cli folder add`` `name` `path`
Add a new library folder called `name` and located at `path`. `name` must be
unique and `path` pointing to an existing directory. If ``supysonic-daemon``
is running it will start to listen for changes in this folder but will not
scan files already present in the folder.
``supysonic-cli folder delete`` `name`
Delete the folder called `name`.
``supysonic-cli folder scan`` [``--force``] [``--background``\|\ ``--foreground``] [`name`]...
Scan the specified folders. If none is given, all the registered folders are
scanned.
Options
=======
-f, --force
Force scan of already known files even if they haven't changed. Might be
useful if an update to *Supysonic* adds new metadata to audio files.
--background
Scan in the background. Requires the ``supysonic-daemon`` to be running
--foreground
Scan in the foreground, blocking the process while the scan is running
If neither ``--background`` nor ``--foreground`` is provided, ``supysonic-cli``
will try to connect to the daemon to initiate a background scan, falling back to
a foreground scan if it isn't available.
Examples
========
To add a new folder to your music library, you can do something like this::
$ supysonic-cli folder add MyLibrary /home/username/Music
Once you've added a folder, you will need to scan it::
$ supysonic-cli folder scan MyLibrary
The audio files residing in `/home/username/Music` will now appear under the
`MyLibrary` folder on the clients.
