DUNE-INTERNAL(1)

πŸ’… DUNE-INTERNAL(1) β€” the Dune Manual, but make it a group chat

okay bestie, so dune internal is like... the backstage pass of the Dune universe. it's the secret menu at your fave boba shop. these are the commands you weren't really supposed to order off the regular menu, but here we are, and honestly? slay. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

dune-internal β€” the internal, behind-the-scenes command suite for Dune. iykyk. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

dune internal COMMAND …

πŸ‘‘ COMMANDS πŸ‘‘

  • bootstrap-info [OPTION]… β€” prints out the generated bootstrap info for Dune itself. it's giving "let me read my own diary" energy. πŸ’–
  • digest-db COMMAND … β€” go poke around in Dune's persistent digest database. like snooping through your own camera roll but it's hashes. lowkey iconic. πŸ”₯
  • dump [OPTION]… FILE β€” dumps the contents of a file that's stored in Dune's persistent database. yes bestie, we're cracking it open. πŸ“
  • latest-lang-version [OPTION]… β€” no description on this one, it's mysterious, it's giving main character with no backstory. ✨
  • sexp-pp [--format=FORMAT] [OPTION]… [FILE] β€” pretty prints s-expressions that it reads from stdin or from a file. so it takes your chaotic lil s-expressions and makes them aesthetic. 🌸

⭐ COMMON OPTIONS ⭐

  • --help[=FMT] (default is auto) β€” shows this exact help in the format FMT. the value of FMT must be one of auto, pager, groff or plain. and when it's auto, the format becomes pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or just straight up undefined. ngl the dumb terminal catching strays is so real. πŸ’€
  • --version β€” shows the version info. the receipts. πŸ“œ
ok bestie now remember: --help takes the value as --help=FMT, brackets and all, and only auto / pager / groff / plain are valid. don't try to be creative with it, it will not eat. πŸ™ˆ

🫢 EXIT STATUS 🫢

dune internal exits with:

  • 0 β€” on success. we ate. πŸ‘‘
  • 1 β€” if an error happened. it's giving oops. 😭
  • 130 β€” if it was interrupted by a signal. rip, we got Ctrl+C'd mid-sentence. πŸ’€
