🌸 NAME 🌸

viv — the STD.pm6 command line multitool ✨

like, it's a multitool, bestie. one little command, so many vibes. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

viv [options] [file...]

okay so here's the whole menu of options, no cap, all of them 👑 — every single one, I'm not skipping a thing:

  • -e, --evaluate TEXT — run code straight off the command line instead of from a file 💬
  • --thaw — the input is a --freeze dump, not Perl 6 🧊➡️💧
  • -o, --output FILE — send the result to FILE instead of to stdout 🎀
  • --noperl6lib — turn off the use of the PERL6LIB variable 🚫
  • --symlroot DIR — use DIR as the parsed module cache 🗂️
  • --concise — pretty-print the parse tree (this is the default, fyi) 🌳✨
  • -c, --check — just check the syntax, that's it, that's the whole job 🕵️
  • --freeze — generate a Storable dump of the parse tree 🧊
  • -y, --yaml — generate a YAML parse tree 📜
  • -5, --p5 — translate to Perl 5 syntax ⏪
  • -6, --p6 — translate back to Perl 6 syntax ⏩
  • --psq — translate to Perlesque syntax 🦋
  • -s, --stab — include the symbol table in the output 📋
  • -m, --match — include the match tree in the output 🌲
  • --no-indent — disable indentation of the output, chaotic flat text era 😌
  • -l, --log — be verbose while generating output 🗣️
  • -k, --keep-going — don't stop if an error is found during the output phase 🏃‍♀️💨
  • --compile-setting FILE — preparse a CORE.setting file ⚙️
