Schedule

schedule lists each space with its intervals: start, end, available, and LibCal’s status.

Flag	Values
`--date`	`today` (default), `tomorrow`, or `YYYY-MM-DD`, in Los Angeles time
`--end-date`	Exclusive end date. Defaults to the day after `--date`.
`--category`	`rooms`, `pods`, `all` (default), `lvl1`, `lvl2`, `lvl3`
`--min-capacity`, `--max-capacity`	Seats

Booking

book reserves exactly the space and times you give it, up to two hours, and never picks another room. Take --start from an available interval and --end from the end of the same or a later adjacent available interval, copied as printed.

usc libcal schedule --date 2026-11-14 --category rooms --min-capacity 6
usc libcal book --space 31391 --start 2026-11-14T15:00:00-08:00 \
  --end 2026-11-14T17:00:00-08:00 --accept-terms

--accept-terms accepts the reservation terms. If the checkout form asks a question, the error names the field and its choices; answer with --field NAME=VALUE.

LibCal has no way to list your bookings, so the confirmation email is your record. A failed booking releases its hold. If a booking’s outcome is unknown, for example because the connection dropped, usc refuses new bookings until you check your email and run usc libcal release. release never cancels a confirmed reservation.
