PRLENTS (PRototype Rust LENTS) is a version of LENTS written in the style of Rust CLI tools like ripgrep, zoxide, and fd.
Commands
Usage:
lents <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 an ENTS file and processes it to a datafile.
