✨ NAME ✨

cmdliner-tool-commands — the girl whose whole job is to output all the subcommands of a cmdliner tool. that's it. that's the gig. iconic honestly 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cmdliner tool-commands [OPTION]… TOOLEXEC

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so cmdliner tool-commands outputs every single subcommand of a given cmdliner based tool — one per line. like a little parade of subcommands, marching single file. so organized. so demure. 🎀

examples, because we love a demo:

cmdliner tool-commands ./mytool
cmdliner tool-commands cmdliner

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

  • TOOLEXEC (required) — this is the tool executable. it gets searched in the PATH unless you specify an explicit file path. lowkey it's just out here looking for your tool fr fr 🔍

💖 COMMON OPTIONS 💖

  • --help[=FMT] (default=auto) — show this help in format FMT. the value FMT must be one of auto, pager, groff or plain. with auto, the format is pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined. bestie dumb is literally the name of the value, i'm not being mean 😭
  • --version — show version information. slay. ✨

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

cmdliner tool-commands exits with:

  1. 0 — on success. we love a win 🫶
  2. 123 — on indiscriminate errors reported on standard error. not me, not my problem, but okay 🙈
