  • --log[=false] — Print the logs on the standard output.

(not me being auto generated and still having main character energy 😭)

lowkey reminder bestie: every flag, every default, every path up there is verbatim — I did not touch a single character of the technical stuff. facts stay facts, the vibe is just better now 🧚

mwah 💖 go update that index, you absolute legend.
