💖 stetl(1) — the Stetl commandline utility 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab a boba, because this one is so useful and honestly lowkey the main character of your geospatial pipeline. it's a section 1 manual page (general commands, iykyk) and it's literally called stetl. yes, the name is in the title up there. we're doing this. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

stetl -c etl.cfg [-s section_name] [-a arglist] [-h subject datavalue]

that's the whole vibe. you feed it a config, it does the thing. no cap. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

stetl is the commandline utility for the Stetl geospatial ETL framework. that's it, that's the whole description, and honestly? iconic. it's giving "does exactly what it says on the tin" energy. 🦋

so like, if you've got geospatial data that needs to go from here ➡️ to there, this is your girl.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's where it gets juicy. every flag, every alias, all of it. no skipping, bestie, we read the whole menu. 🍓

• -c config_file, --config config_file — the path to your Stetl config file. this is the one you basically always need. the whole -c etl.cfg moment in the synopsis? yeah, that's this. 🔥
• -s section_name, --section section_name — which section of the Stetl config (ini) file you wanna run. and here's the tea: the default is [etl], so if you don't say anything, that's where it's headed. 🧚
• -a arglist, --args arglist — arguments, or a .properties file, that get substituted in for the {argN}s in your config file. you can do it either of these ways:

-a "arg1=foo arg2=bar"

or

-a args.properties

so if your config is full of little {argN} placeholders, this is how you fill them in. obsessed. 💜

• -d class, --doc class — get component documentation, like its configuration parameters. for example:

stetl doc stetl.inputs.fileinput.FileInput

literally a little built-in help moment for any component class. go off, documentation. 👑

💀 psst — the synopsis also shows -h subject datavalue, so yes, that form appears up there in the usage line. we're not gonna pretend we didn't see it. 👀
