+Filters
+-------
+
+Filters can be used to restrict the set of items which are loaded from the
+appointments file when using calcurse in non-interactive mode. The following
+filters are currently supported:
+
+*--filter-type* <type>::
+  Ignore any items that do not match the type mask. The type mask is a
+  comma-separated list of valid type descriptions which include 'event', 'apt',
+  'recur-event', 'recur-apt' and 'todo'. You can also use 'recur' as a
+  shorthand for 'recur-event,recur-apt' and 'cal' as a shorthand for
+  'event,apt,recur'.
+
+*--filter-pattern* <pattern>::
+  Ignore any items with a description that does not match the pattern. The
+  pattern is interpreted as extended regular expression.
+
+*--filter-start-from* <date>::
+  Ignore any items that start before a given date.
+
+*--filter-start-to* <date>::
+  Ignore any items that start after a given date.
+
+*--filter-start-after* <date>::
+  Only include items that start after a given date.
+
+*--filter-start-before* <date>::
+  Only include items that start before a given date.
+
+*--filter-start-range* <range>::
+  Only include items with a start date that falls within a given range. A range
+  consists of a start date and an end date, separated by a comma.
+
+*--filter-end-from* <date>::
+  Ignore any items that end before a given date.
+
+*--filter-end-to* <date>::
+  Ignore any items that end after a given date.
+
+*--filter-end-after* <date>::
+  Only include items that end after a given date.
+
+*--filter-end-before* <date>::
+  Only include items that end before a given date.
+
+*--filter-end-range* <range>::
+  Only include items with an end date that falls within a given range. A range
+  consists of a start date and an end date, separated by a comma.
+
+*--filter-priority* <priority>::
+  Only include items with a given priority.
+
+*--filter-completed*::
+  Only include completed TODO items.
+
+*--filter-uncompleted*::
+  Only include uncompleted TODO items.
