-> will add the most recent call to your blacklist.  Handy when an annoying call comes in and you want to quickly and easily add it to the blacklist.  The blacklist entry is also date stamped so the message from NCID will let you know when you blacklisted it.  It's satisfying to see the message.

-* **cidextract.py**
-> is another utility to help you manage your lists.  I park it in /etc/ncid/. It parses the white and black lists, and looks in /var/log/cidcall.log (or a different file you specify from the command line), and prints out a list of phone numbers that have rung your number and aren't currently in a list. I run it using Python 2.7 on Fedora Core 24 currently.  Only minor changes would be required for Python 3.x.
