ARDUINO-CLI-BOARD-DETAILS(1)

💖 ARDUINO-CLI-BOARD-DETAILS — bestie's guide to peeking at your board 💖

okay so this is a page from the ARDUINO COMMAND LINE MANUAL(1) and it's literally about one thing: getting the tea on a board. like, what is it, what can you tweak on it, all of it. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

arduino-cli-board-details — print details about a board. that's the whole job and she does it gorgeously 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

arduino-cli board details -b  [flags]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so basically: show info about a board. and specifically — the iconique part — it tells you whether the board has options you can specify inside the FQBN. that's the whole vibe check. no cap, that's it. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --board-options=[] — a list of board options, separated by commas. or you can pass it more than once, once per option, if that's more your thing ✨
• -b, --fqbn="" — the Fully Qualified Board Name, like for example arduino:avr:uno. your board's full government name 👑
• -f, --full[=false] — show the full board details. give me everything, the whole story 💖
• -h, --help[=false] — help for details. she's helpful, she's kind 🌸
• --list-programmers[=false] — show the list of available programmers. yes bestie, the programmers 🧚
• --show-properties[="disabled"] — show build properties. and important: the properties come back expanded. if you want them exactly as they're defined in the source, pass --show-properties=unexpanded instead. iykyk 🔥

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these ones got handed down, they're not unique to details, but they still slay:

• --additional-urls=[] — comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager 🌈
• --config-dir="" — sets the default data directory. and heads up: Arduino CLI will look for the configuration file in this directory 👀
• --config-file="" — the custom config file. if you don't specify one, the default gets used 💅
• --json[=false] — print the output in JSON format. for the machines, for the scripts, for the girlies who parse 📜
• --log[=false] — print the logs on the standard output ✨
• --log-file="" — path to the file where logs will be written 🎀
• --log-format="text" — the output format for the logs. valid values: text, json 💖
• --log-level="info" — messages with this level and above will be logged. valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic 🦋
• --no-color[=false] — disable colored output. (sad, but sometimes necessary 😭)
• --log-file="" — wait no, that one's already above, she's just saying hi again. (jk — it's in the list once, promise 🫶)

hmm okay that last one was me being silly, it's not in the original. ignore her 💀 real list, no extras, that's the rule.

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓
