-[1]: https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5545.txt
+SYNOPSIS
+ ics2txt-tsv <file.ics >file.tsv

+DESCRIPTION
+ ics2txt is set of awk scripts to deal with iCal (.ics) format to publish,
+ display and convert *.ics files, though a simple central TSV format.
+
+ They all read from either stdin or the file passed as argument, and write
+ to stdout.
+
+ file.tsv files have one line per event, all with the following fields,
+ separated by one tab:
+ 1. Begining (epoch)
+ 2. End (epoch)
+ 3. Category
+ 4. Location
+ 5. Summary
+ 6. Description
+
+EXAMPLES
+ Convert a calendar from HTTP .ics to custom .txt sorted by beginning:
+ curl $url.ics | ics2txt-tsv | sort -n -k 1,1 | ics2txt-txt
+
+ Convert a custom .txt format back to an .ics file and publish it:
+ ics2txt-back cal.txt | ics2txt-ics | ssh www@$host 'cat
+ >/var/www/cal.ics'
+
+ Split an file according to the category, saved as .tsv:
+ ics2txt-tsv cal.txt | awk -F '\t' '{ f = $3".tsv"; print >>f }'
+
