ARDUINO-CLI-CORE-SEARCH(1)

💖 arduino-cli-core-search — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Arduino Command Line Manual, section 1. this is the page for arduino-cli core search and yes it's giving "small command, big feelings" energy. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

arduino-cli-core-search — Search for a core in Boards Manager.

no cap, that's literally it. you're searching Boards Manager for a core. iconic behavior.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

arduino-cli core search  [flags]

(yeah there's a double space in there between search and [flags]. we don't question the ancestors, we just vibe. 💅)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Search for a core in Boards Manager using the specified keywords.

so you throw some keywords at it, and it goes digging through Boards Manager to find you a core. that's the whole main character arc. 🫶

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -a, --all[=false] — Show all available core versions. every single one. the whole ensemble cast. 👑
• -h, --help[=false] — help for search. classic. whenever you're lost, hit this. it's the emotional support flag fr fr 🥺

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these ones aren't even this command's flags, they're hand-me-downs from the parent command (iykyk). but they work here too, so we're listing every single one because bestie, we do not skip the "boring" parts in this house. 🌈

• --additional-urls=[] — Comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager. extra sources, extra flavor. 🍓
• --config-dir="" — Sets the default data directory (Arduino CLI will look for configuration file in this directory). like, "hey, look over here for my stuff." 📁
• --config-file="" — The custom config file (if not specified the default will be used). bring your own config, be your own person. 💅
• --json[=false] — Print the output in JSON format. for when you want the data to be, like, machine-readable and also kinda hot. 🤖
• --log[=false] — Print the logs on the standard output. spill the tea directly to your terminal. ☕
• --log-file="" — Path to the file where logs will be written. spill the tea into a file instead. 📝
• --log-format="text" — The output format for the logs, can be: text, json. two options, two vibes, pick your fighter. ✨
• --log-level="info" — Messages with this level and above will be logged. Valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic. seven levels of intensity, like a feelings scale but for your logs. 😭
• --no-color[=false] — Disable colored output. for when the rainbow has to go. 🌈➡️🚫
