💖 PEAR(1) — the User commands era, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to the manual page for PEAR(1), and I need you to know this is the user commands section of the manual. buckle up, we're learning today. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pear, pecl, peardev — it's giving PEAR installer. three names, one icon. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pear [ options ] command [command-options] <parameters>

pecl [ options ] command [command-options] <parameters>

peardev [ options ] command [command-options] <parameters>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

PEAR is the PHP Extension and Application Repository, and it lives at http://pear.php.net. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🌈

so there's three commands and they all hit different:

  • pear — the one you use to install PEAR extensions. main character energy fr.
  • pecl — the one you use to install PECL extensions. its slightly cooler sibling.
  • peardev — a wrapper for the pear command that removes the normal configured memory limit. yes bestie it just rips the ceiling off. lowkey iconic.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per flag, no skips, we do not gatekeep here:

  • -v — increase the verbosity level (default is 1). she's chatty.
  • -q — be quiet, decrease the verbosity level. shhh.
  • -c file — find user configuration in file.
  • -C file — find system configuration in file.
  • -d foo=bar — set the user config variable foo to bar.
  • -D foo=bar — set the system config variable foo to bar.
  • -G — start in graphical (Gtk) mode. yes she has a GUI. we love a range.
  • -S — store system configuration.
  • -s — store user configuration.
  • -y foo — unset foo in the user configuration.
  • -V — version information. the receipts.
  • -h
  • -? — display help/usage. two ways in, same energy. 🫶
