CLINK-REPL(1)

📦 version 2024.12.07-unstable-2026-10, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this is CLINK-REPL(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it is literally the page for clink-repl, the icon we use so vim can vibe with a Clink database 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

clink - C/C++/assembly code navigator

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

clink-repl options...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

As an alternative to invoking cscope within vim, clink-repl can be used to access a Clink database. clink-repl implements just enough of the cscope(1) protocol that vim expects to enable cscope-like interaction. no cap, that's the whole slay 🫶

bestie, this program is not expected to be called directly by users. You can call it directly, but you probably want clink(1) instead. like, it's giving "you can text your ex, but maybe don't" energy 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d — ignored, but provided for cscope(1) compatibility. it's just there to be cute and compatible ✨
  • -f DATABASE — access the given database for code lookups. If this option is not given, an attempt will be made to locate a database using the same logic as clink(1) itself.
  • -l — ignored, but provided for cscope(1) compatibility. another compatibility icon 🎀

🌸 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌸

  • CLINK_DEBUG_LOG — this can be set to a path to a file to log debug messages to. This can be useful for debugging problems with interaction with vim. so if the vim hangout is acting up, this is your little detective notebook 🔍💜
