GRPC_CLI-CALL(1)

✨ grpc_cli-call(1) — the "call method" era ✨

okay bestie, welcome to grpc_cli-call 💅 it's a User Command, it lives in section 1, and it's here to call method. that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

grpc_cli-call — call method. literally just call a method. that's her. that's the job 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

grpc_cli call address [service[.method]] request [OPTION]...

that's the shape of it, bestie. address, then optionally a service and/or method, then your request, then as many OPTIONs as your heart desires ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

no skipping, we're doing all of them, periodt 🎀

• address — it's the host:port. that's the address. where the server is at. go say hi 🌈
• service — the exported service name. the name your service is exported under, no cap 💜
• method — method name. the actual method you're calling, iykyk 🧚
• request — text protobuffer. heads up though: this overrides --infile 👀 so if you put a request right there in the command line, that's what wins.
• --protofiles — comma separated proto files, used as a fallback when parsing request/response. a lil safety net 🍓
• --proto_path — the search paths of proto files, separated by : (colon separated, yes). and lowkey important: this is valid only when --protofiles is given ⭐
• --noremotedb — don't attempt to use the reflection service at all. not even a little. none 💀
• --metadata — the metadata to be sent to the server. send it, bestie 💌
• --infile — input filename. defaults to stdin if you don't say anything 🌸
• --outfile — output filename. defaults to stdout if you don't say anything 🌸
• --binary_input — input in binary format 🔢
• --binary_output — output in binary format 🔢
• --json_input — input in json format 🧾
• --json_output — output in json format 🧾
• --timeout — specify timeout (in seconds), used to set the deadline for RPCs. and the default value is -1, which means no deadline has been set — so like, she'll wait forever, main character energy but make it patient 😭
• --ssl_target — set server host for ssl validation 🔐
• --ssl_client_cert — client cert for ssl 🔐
• --ssl_client_key — client private key for ssl 🔐 (guard this one, fr fr)
• --local_connect_type — set to local_tcp or uds 🛰️
• --channel_creds_type — set to insecure, ssl, gdc, alts, or local 🎚️
• --call_creds — set to none, or access_token=token 🔑

not me listing every single flag so you don't have to guess 🫶 that's the whole list. nothing skipped, nothing merged, nothing invented. slay.
