Command line utility to read vCalendar files

Question

I use alpine to read mails, and occasionally get emails from people with vCalendar files in attachment. Is there a command line utility that reads and displays vCalendar files?

Answer 1

I just googled and found vcal, a perl script for displaying vcal files. According to the man page it should do exactly what you need.

There is also gcalcli a command line interface for google calendar which allows you to manage your google calendar. This may allow you to add events you received directly to your existing calendar.
