+Khard is an address book for the Unix console. It creates, reads,
+modifies and removes vCard address book entries at your local machine.
+Khard is also compatible to the email clients mutt and alot and the
+SIP client twinkle.
+
+Warning: If you want to create or modify contacts with khard, beware
+that the vcard standard is very inconsistent and lacks interoperability
+Different actors in that sector have defined their own extensions and
+even produce non-standard output. A good example is the type value,
+which is tied to phone numbers, email and post addresses. Khard tries to
+avoid such incompatibilities but if you sync your contacts with an
+Android or iOS device, expect problems. You are on the safe side, if you
+only use khard to read contacts.
