ARDUINO-CLI-LIB(1)

💖 ARDUINO-CLI-LIB — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is arduino-cli-lib, and it lives inside the ARDUINO COMMAND LINE MANUAL (that's the manual number 1, iykyk). it's the page all about libraries, and yes we're gonna go through every single flag together. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

arduino-cli-lib — Arduino commands about libraries.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

arduino-cli lib [flags]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Arduino commands about libraries.

like. that's the whole vibe. it's the parent command, the main character 👑, and all the actual library-doing commands hang off it.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help[=false] — help for lib. (defaults to false, so it's not gonna yell help at you unprompted 🫶)

---

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

these are the ones that got handed down from the parent command, and they're literally all available here too:

• --additional-urls=[] — Comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager. (default is an empty list, [], so nothing extra by default ✨)
• --config-dir="" — Sets the default data directory (Arduino CLI will look for configuration file in this directory). (default: empty string, meaning it uses the usual spot)
• --config-file="" — The custom config file (if not specified the default will be used).
• --json[=false] — Print the output in JSON format. (default false — flip it if you want machine-readable slay)
• --log[=false] — Print the logs on the standard output. (default false)
• --log-file="" — Path to the file where logs will be written.
• --log-format="text" — The output format for the logs, can be: text, json. (default is "text" 💅)
• --log-level="info" — Messages with this level and above will be logged. Valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic. (default "info")
• --no-color[=false] — Disable colored output. (default false — the colors stay, periodt 🌈)
