+.SH NAME
+.B sqlite3
+\- A command line interface for SQLite version 3
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B sqlite3
+.RI [ options ]
+.RI [ databasefile ]
+.RI [ SQL ]
+
+.SH SUMMARY
+.PP
+.B sqlite3
+is a terminal-based front-end to the SQLite library that can evaluate
+queries interactively and display the results in multiple formats.
+.B sqlite3
+can also be used within shell scripts and other applications to provide
+batch processing features.
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+To start a
+.B sqlite3
+interactive session, invoke the
+.B sqlite3
+command and optionally provide the name of a database file. If the
+database file does not exist, it will be created. If the database file
+does exist, it will be opened.
+
+For example, to create a new database file named "mydata.db", create
+a table named "memos" and insert a couple of records into that table:
+.sp
+$
+.B sqlite3 mydata.db
+.br
+SQLite version 3.43.0 2023-08-11 17:45:23
+.br
+Enter ".help" for usage hints.
+.br
+sqlite>
+.B create table memos(text, priority INTEGER);
+.br
+sqlite>
+.B insert into memos values('deliver project description', 10);
+.br
+sqlite>
+.B insert into memos values('lunch with Christine', 100);
+.br
+sqlite>
+.B select * from memos;
+.br
+deliver project description|10
+.br
+lunch with Christine|100
+.br
+sqlite>
+.sp
+
+If no database name is supplied, the ATTACH sql command can be used
+to attach to existing or create new database files. ATTACH can also
+be used to attach to multiple databases within the same interactive
+session. This is useful for migrating data between databases,
+possibly changing the schema along the way.
+
+Optionally, a SQL statement or set of SQL statements can be supplied as
+a single argument. Multiple statements should be separated by
+semi-colons.
+
+For example:
+.sp
+$
+.B sqlite3 -line mydata.db 'select * from memos where priority > 20;'
+.br
+ text = lunch with Christine
+.br
+priority = 100
+.br
+.sp
+
+.SS SQLITE META-COMMANDS
+.PP
+The interactive interpreter offers a set of meta-commands that can be
+used to control the output format, examine the currently attached
+database files, or perform administrative operations upon the
+attached databases (such as rebuilding indices). Meta-commands are
+always prefixed with a dot (.).
+
+A list of available meta-commands can be viewed at any time by issuing
+the '.help' command. For example:
+.sp
+sqlite>
+.B .help
+.nf
+.tr %.
+...
+.sp
+.fi
+
+The available commands differ by version and build options, so they
+are not listed here. Please refer to your local copy for all available
+options.
+
+
+.SH INIT FILE
+.B sqlite3
+reads an initialization file to set the configuration of the
+interactive environment. Throughout initialization, any previously
+specified setting can be overridden. The sequence of initialization is
+as follows:
+
+o The default configuration is established as follows:
+
+.sp
+.nf
+.cc |
+mode = LIST
+separator = "|"
+main prompt = "sqlite> "
+continue prompt = " ...> "
+|cc .
+.sp
+.fi
+
+o If the file
+.B ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/sqlite3/sqliterc
+or
+.B ~/.sqliterc
+exists, the first of those to be found is processed during startup.
+It should generally only contain meta-commands.
+
+o If the -init option is present, the specified file is processed.
+
+o All other command line options are processed.
