💖 NAME

okay so bestie, this is alr-version — the lil command that shows you all the detailed version, configuration, and environment info. like a full ✨ vibe check ✨ on your setup. This page lives in the Alire manual (ALR-VERSION(1)), and it's your new bestie for figuring out what on earth your alr is doing.

✨ SYNOPSIS

alr version [options]

that's it. that's the whole thing. one command, some options, slay. 💅

🌸 GLOBAL OPTIONS

these are the big ones — the global options that go with everything, no cap:

  • -c, --config=ARG — override where the configuration folder lives. like, "no thank you, i'll put my config somewhere else actually." 💖
  • -f, --force — keep going even when stuff gets messy. a recoverable troublesome situation? we push through it, bestie. 🫶
  • -h, --help — shows help! general help, or help for whatever specific command you're on. iconic.
  • -n, --non-interactive — assumes the default answer for every single prompt. no questions asked, literally. (well, no questions asked, technically — it just answers for you.) 😭
  • --no-color — turns colors OFF in the output. if you're piping to a file or just hate fun, this one's for you. 🌈➡️🚫
  • --no-tty — disables control characters in the output. clean, plain vibes only. ✨
  • --prefer-oldest — when it's resolving dependencies, prefer the oldest versions instead of the newest. yes, on purpose. some people are vintage-coded and that's valid. 💜
  • --version — displays the version and then exits. short and sweet, main character energy, no notes. 👑
  • -q — limits output to errors only. quiet mode. shhh. 🙈
  • -v — be more verbose! use it twice for extra detail. the more -v, the more you know. 🔥
  • -d, --debug[] — enables debug-specific log messages. for when you need to see EVERYTHING. 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION

ngl, this one's pretty self-explanatory but let's spell it out: alr version shows assorted metadata about two things:

  1. the alr executable itself — like, hi, who am I, what am I running, what's my config looking like 🎀
  2. and, if there is one, the crate or sandbox found in the current directory. if there isn't one? no biggie, it just shows what it can. ✨

so basically it's giving "all about me" but make it about your toolchain. obsessed. 🦋

Generated with generate-man from Alire execution. yes, the man page generated itself, that's the level of self-sufficient icon behavior we're on. 💖

and that's a wrap, bestie!! 🎀 this page is from Alire 1.2, dated Aug 3, 2022 — so like, it's vintage but it still ate. go forth and alr version your little heart out. 💜✨
