Comic Book Zip Archive Tool

cbz is a command-line tool for viewing and manipulating ComicInfo.xml files in comic book zip archive files. The schema for ComicInfo.xml files is defined by the Anansi Project.

Why?

This tool exists solely so I can add AgeRating metadata to comic CBZ files so that my family's private Kavita Reader instance doesn't present unsuitable content to young individuals. However, for fun I've added support for updating other metadata fields.

Limitations

Does not currently support setting fields deeper than the first level, such as elements under the Pages array.

Running

Viewing Metadata

View a comic archive's ComicInfo.xml file:

cbz show comic.cbz

Note that the show command can only operate on a single comic archive.

Set Metadata

Set an AgeRating on a comic files:

cbz set AgeRating=Teen comic.cbz

Set multiple metadata fields:

cbz set AgeRating=Teen "Writer=Terry Moore" comic.cbz

The set command can operate on multiple comic archives:

cbz set AgeRating=Teen "Writer=Terry Moore" series1/comic1.cbz series2/*.cbz

The import command "imports" a CBR file by converting it into a CBZ file.

cbz import comic.cbr
ls
comic.cbr comic.cbz
