💖 CHICKEN-STATUS 💖

okay so bestie, this is the chicken-status page from the General Commands Manual — it's your little gossip source for everything you've got installed, no cap. 🐣

✨ NAME ✨

chicken-status — literally just lists info about your installed libraries, that's it, that's the whole job 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

chicken-status [OPTION ...] NAME ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So chicken-status tells you all about the installed CHICKEN Scheme extension libraries you've got chilling on your system. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

If you pass a NAME, it only spills the tea about that specific extension (or extensions). No NAME? Then it shows every single one. The whole roster. 👑

The program accepts the following arguments, and yes, we're going through all of them:

  • -h, -help — shows you the usage and then dips out. ✌️
  • -version — shows the version and exits. Simple, clean, slay.
  • -c, -components — lists the installed components.
  • -f, -files — lists the installed files.
  • -list — lists installed egg versions in a format that plays nice with chicken-install(1)'s -override or -from-list options. Teamwork fr fr 🤝
  • -match — treats NAME as a glob pattern. Wildcards, we love to see it. ✨
  • -host — when cross-compiling, only shows host extensions.
  • -target — when cross-compiling, only shows target extensions. “override” format.
  • -cached — lists eggs that are currently cached. Your lil stash 🍓

💜 ENVIRONMENT 💜

These environment variables change how chicken-status behaves, so pay attention bestie:

  • CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY — the path where extension libraries get installed. Defaults to the package library path that was selected during configuration (usually $prefix/lib/chicken/<binary-version>).
  • CHICKEN_REPOSITORY_PATH — one or more directories holding extension libraries. Defaults to the installation repository.
  • CHICKEN_EGG_CACHE — where eggs are retrieved and built.

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • $XDG_CACHE_HOME/chicken-install/ — the default directory for cached eggs. (And $XDG_CACHE_HOME defaults to $HOME/.cache.) 🥚

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

The chicken-status utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. So if it's not zero, something went wrong and we're 😭 about it.
