Synopsis

xpbuild [<command>] [<options> ...] [<args>...]

Description

The program accepts an optional command name, options (that start with a dash) and possibly one or more arguments, like names, files, etc.

The list of accepted options and arguments is specific to a given command, or set of command and subcommands.

Common options

Help (-h|--help)

To get an initial glimpse on the program, ask for help:

$ xpbuild --help

...

This works both at top level and with commands/subcommands.

Log level (--loglevel)

The default behaviour of the program is to display only a minimum amount of messages.

This can be changed, from not displaying any messages at all (--silent) to displaying lots of debugging trace messages (--trace).

  --loglevel <level>     Set log level (silent|warn|info|verbose|debug|trace)
  -s|--silent            Disable all messages (--loglevel silent)
  -q|--quiet             Mostly quiet, warnings and errors (--loglevel warn)
  --informative          Informative (--loglevel info)
  -v|--verbose           Verbose (--loglevel verbose)
  -d|--debug             Debug messages (--loglevel debug)
  -dd|--trace            Trace messages (--loglevel trace, -d -d)

Current folder (-C)

By default the program is executed in the context of the current shell folder, but it can be changed to any folder using -C <folder>.

Program version (--version)

As for most command line tools, it is possible to ask for the current version, with --version:

$ xpbuild --version
0.5.0

The result is written to the standard output stream, and consists of the semver string, without any v prefix, so it can be directly used in automated scripts, without any post processing.

Skip checks (--no-update-notifier)

By default, before exiting, xpbuild checks, once a day, if there is a new version of the program available.

For environments where this check is not necessary, it can be disabled.
