💖 LEMONADE 💖

okay bestie, so lemonade(1) — that's the manual page name, the section 1 situation, we love a classic — is literally your command line interface moment. let's get into it 🍋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lemonade — the command line interface. that's it, that's the whole name, short and iconic 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lemonade [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]

like, you give it some options, you give it a subcommand, the vibes do the rest 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Lemonade CLI — an HTTP client for Lemonade Server. that's the whole lore fr fr. it talks to your server, you tell it what to do, everybody's happy 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows you the help info. the "bestie what do i even type" button 🙈
  • --help-all — shows help info for all the subcommands. the full deep dive, no crumbs left behind ✨
  • -v, --version — prints the program version info and dips. exits immediately, no small talk 💅
  • --host HOST [127.0.0.1] — server host. default is 127.0.0.1. also reads from the env var LEMONADE_HOST 🌈
  • --port PORT [13305] — server port. default is 13305. also reads from the env var LEMONADE_PORT 🔥
  • --api-key KEY — API key for authentication. it checks the env vars LEMONADE_API_KEY and LEMONADE_ADMIN_API_KEY.
okay this part matters: if both LEMONADE_ADMIN_API_KEY and LEMONADE_API_KEY are set, then LEMONADE_ADMIN_API_KEY takes precedence. admin wins, no cap 👑

👑 Subcommands: 👑

these are the little quests you can send lemonade on, one at a time:

  • status — check server status. the "u up?" text 📱

the full documentation for lemonade lives in a Texinfo manual, which is a whole thing. if the info and lemonade programs are properly installed at your site, then this command:

info lemonade

should hand you the complete manual. go get your reading done bestie 📖✨

and that's the page!! 🍋 this was lemonade version 10.0.0, from March 2026 — section 1 of the manual, as always. mwah, slay, bye 💖🎀🦋
