        Hi,
what is your evolution version, please? Mine has -i or --import to
invoke import from command line for a given uri. I think it's there
since 2.32.0 (mine is 3.0.0). You will be provided with a preview of the
content to be imported, so you can easily see how are file columns
mapped into vCard properties when you change cvs format type.

With respect of multi-contact import, The easiest is to join multiple
cvs/ldif files into one and import it, then invoking the same command
for multiple times.
        Bye,
