DEBSBOM-EXPORT(1)

📦 version 0.9.0, in ubuntu stonking

✨ DEBSBOM-EXPORT ✨ — aka the export command from the debsbom suite 💅

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about debsbom-export — it's the part of debsbom(1) that takes your SBOM and turns it into a graph. we love a glow-up. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

debsbom-export — literally just the debsbom export command. that's her. that's the girl. 👑

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

debsbom export [-h] [-t {cdx,spdx}] [--format {graphml}] [bomin] [out]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Export sbom as graph. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

What actually happens: this command processes an SBOM and converts it into various graph formats. it's giving data visualization, it's giving ~aesthetic~. ✨

Important lil heads-up, bestie: SPDX SBOMs lead to better results, because they describe the inter-package relations more precisely. however — and this is the plot twist — some properties, like the package section and essential, can only be tracked in CycloneDX. so like. choose your fighter. 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

🫶 Positional Arguments

  • bomin — the sbom file(s) to process for 'bomin'. use '-' to read from stdin (yes, she'll sip straight from the pipe, iconic behavior) 💜
  • out — the output file. it's optional, she's chill like that. no pressure. 🌸

⭐ Named Arguments

  • -t, --sbom-type — which SBOM type to process. defaults to auto-detect, and it is required when reading from stdin (she cannot read your mind through the pipe, sorry). possible choices: cdx, spdx
  • --format='graphml' — the graph output format. defaults to 'graphml'. possible choices: graphml 🔥
