Planned version to be in the style of Rust CLI tools like ripgrep,
zoxide, and fd. A generic xents command will be used here
as an example implementation.
Usage:
xents <command> <operator> <arguments>
ENTS commands use inverse function mapping - one to many, not many to one. This is chosen so the first argument of one type can have many arguments (that are of a different type than the first and are all of a similar type) after it
process
Takes a YAML file and processes it to a datafile. Output varies on imlementation.
- Usage:
xents process file.yaml - Notes: no additional operators or arguments
