Contacts
Lists your contacts
The contacts application lets you list your contacts that are imported from the contacts folder found under the KSContactsImport folder. It shows you basic information about your contacts.
The contacts application is usually found in your computer under the form of a feature in your favorite mail client or under the form of a standalone application. It's also found in your smartphone in which you can make phone calls and send SMS messages.
Usage
Nitrocid contains this standalone application and can be executed by invoking the contacts command.
You can also perform contact management without the contacts interactive TUI by using one of the following four commands:
contactinfo
Shows you contact information
importcontacts
Imports the contacts from either a MeCard string or a vCard file
listcontacts
Lists all the contacts
loadcontacts
Loads all the contacts
Please note that Nitrocid KS is unable to make phone calls and send SMS messages to your contacts as it requires a special device, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, to be able to make calls from your computer, and we don't intend to simulate that.

VCF contact files holding multiple contacts (same version, mixed versions)
Android contacts database file (
contacts2.db)
To import MeCard contacts, expand the below section.
