🎀 NAME 🎀

hp-plugin — the Plugin Download and Install Utility, bestie 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's the HP Proprietary Plugin Download and Install Utility. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Proprietary. Capital P. We said what we said 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hp-plugin [MODE] [OPTIONS]

👑 MODE 👑

Pick your fighter, babe. You gotta choose how this thing runs.

  • -u or --gui — run it in graphical UI mode. This is the default, so if you just yeet hp-plugin with nothing else, this is what you get ✨
  • -i or --interactive — run it in interactive mode, for when you wanna be in the driver's seat 🫶
  • --required — installation for required printer mode. Heads up: this one is Qt4 only 🫠
  • --optional — installation for optional printer mode. Also Qt4 only, no exceptions 💀
  • --loc=<lang> or --lang=<lang> — set the language, gorl 🌍 And listen: if you do --loc=? or --lang=? it'll show you a whole list of available language codes. Iconic behaviour fr fr

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -p <path> or --path=<path> or --plugin=<path> — tell it exactly where your plugin file lives. Three ways to say the same thing, pick whichever ✨
  • -l<level> or --logging=<level> — set the logging level. Your choices are: none, info*, error, warn, debug. The little star means default, so info is what you get unless you say otherwise 📝
  • -g — run in debug mode. It's literally the same as passing -ldebug, just shorter. Same energy 🐛
  • -h or --help — this help information. When you're lost, ask for help, that's growth 🌱
