✨ MU FIELDS(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the mu fields manual page 💖 this one lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it's short, sweet, and honestly kind of a vibe. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

mufields — list all message fields 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

*mu [common-options] fields

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so mu fields is literally the mu command for showing a table of message fields and their properties. that's it. that's the whole thing. she's simple, she's iconic, she shows you the table 👑

⭐ COMMON OPTIONS ⭐

these are the shared options that basically every mu command rolls with. learn them once, use them everywhere, no cap ✨

  • -d, --debug — makes mu generate extra debug information, which is useful for debugging the program itself. by default this debug info goes to the log file at ~/.cache/mu/mu.log, and ngl you can safely delete that file whenever mu isn't running. 🫧 heads up tho: when you run with --debug, that log file can grow rather quickly. see the note on logging below. 👀
  • -q, --quiet — tells mu to not output informational messages and progress info to standard output, and instead send them only to the log file. error messages will still go to standard error, so don't worry, you'll still get told when things go wrong. 😌 fun fact: mu index is much faster with --quiet, so if you're calling mu from scripts etc., this one is highly recommended. run it, bestie 🏃‍♀️
  • --log-stderr — causes mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to sending them to the log file. so like, log messages keep going to the file, they just stop doubling up on stderr.
  • --nocolor — do not use ANSI colors 🚫🌈. the environment variable NOCOLOR works as an alternative to --nocolor, so you've got options, queen.
  • -V, --version — prints mu version and copyright information. classic. love that for us.
  • -h, --help — lists the various command line options. when in doubt, -h it out 🙈
