The supported subcommands are: .IP "dist" 4 .IX Item "dist" Build, test, and generate a distribution tarball of the package in the current directory. The exact commands used is determined by the package metadata (see App::DocKnot::Generate for format documentation). .Sp After the distribution is built, it will be checked against the source tree and \fBdocknot\fR will report an error and exit with a non-zero status if there are any expected files missing. .IP "generate" 4 .IX Item "generate" Use metadata files and templates to generate human-readable documentation files for a package. See App::DocKnot::Generate for documentation on the metadata format, configuration files, and paths. .IP "generate-all" 4 .IX Item "generate-all" Like \f(CW\*(C`generate\*(C'\fR, but generates all of the package documentation for which default output files are configured. This is a quick short-cut to generating all documentation that's shipped with the package. .IP "update" 4 .IX Item "update" Update the DocKnot package configuration from an older format. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" Each \fBdocknot\fR subcommand takes its own options. .SS "Global Options" .IX Subsection "Global Options" .IP "\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR" 4 .IX Item "-h, --help" Print out usage information and exit. .SS "dist" .IX Subsection "dist" .IP "\fB\-d\fR \fIdistdir\fR, \fB\-\-distdir\fR=\fIdistdir\fR" 4 .IX Item "-d distdir, --distdir=distdir" The directory into which to put the generated distribution tarball. This is also used as a working directory for a temporary copy of the package source. This should point to a trusted directory, not one where an attacker could have written files; see \*(L"\fBmake_distribution()\fR\*(R" in App::DocKnot::Dist for more information. Default: The \f(CW\*(C`destdir\*(C'\fR option in the global DocKnot configuration file. This option is required if there is no configuration file or if this option is not set. .IP "\fB\-m\fR \fImetadata\fR, \fB\-\-metadata\fR=\fImetadata\fR" 4 .IX Item "-m metadata, --metadata=metadata" The path to the metadata files for the package whose distribution tarball is being generated. This should be a directory containing all the package metadata files required by App::DocKnot. Default: \fIdocs/docknot.yaml\fR relative to the current directory (which is the recommended metadata path for a project). .IP "\fB\-p\fR \fIpgp-key\fR, \fB\-\-pgp\-key\fR=\fIpgp-key\fR" 4 .IX Item "-p pgp-key, --pgp-key=pgp-key" The name of the \s-1PGP\s0 key to use to sign the generated distribution tarballs. The key can be named in any way that the \fB\-u\fR option of GnuPG understands. The generated signature will be armored and stored in a file named by appending \f(CW\*(C`.asc\*(C'\fR to the name of the tarball. .SS "generate" .IX Subsection "generate" .IP "\fB\-m\fR \fImetadata\fR, \fB\-\-metadata\fR=\fImetadata\fR" 4 .IX Item "-m metadata, --metadata=metadata" The path to the metadata files for the package whose documentation is being generated. This should be a directory containing all the package metadata files required by App::DocKnot. Default: \fIdocs/docknot.yaml\fR relative to the current directory (which is the recommended metadata path for a project). .IP "\fB\-w\fR \fIwidth\fR, \fB\-\-width\fR=\fIwidth\fR" 4 .IX Item "-w width, --width=width" Column width at which the generated output is wrapped. Default: 74. .IP "\fItemplate\fR" 4 .IX Item "template" The template to use when generating the output file. .IP "\fIoutput\fR" 4 .IX Item "output" The path to the output file to generate. If this argument isn't given, the output file will be chosen based on the template as follows: .Sp .Vb 2 \& readme \-> README \& readme\-md \-> README.md .Ve .Sp If the template isn't listed above, this argument is required. .SS "generate-all" .IX Subsection "generate-all" .IP "\fB\-m\fR \fImetadata\fR, \fB\-\-metadata\fR=\fImetadata\fR" 4 .IX Item "-m metadata, --metadata=metadata" The path to the metadata files for the package whose documentation is being generated. This should be a directory containing all the package metadata files required by App::DocKnot. Default: \fIdocs/docknot.yaml\fR relative to the current directory (which is the recommended metadata path for a project). .IP "\fB\-w\fR \fIwidth\fR, \fB\-\-width\fR=\fIwidth\fR" 4 .IX Item "-w width, --width=width" Column width at which the generated output is wrapped. Default: 74. .SS "update" .IX Subsection "update" .IP "\fB\-m\fR \fImetadata\fR, \fB\-\-metdata\fR=\fImetadata\fR" 4 .IX Item "-m metadata, --metdata=metadata" The path to the \s-1JSON\s0 metadata files for the package that should be converted to the new \s-1YAML\s0 format. This should be a directory containing all the package metadata files required by App::DocKnot. Default: \fIdocs/metadata\fR relative to the current directory. .IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIoutput\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fIoutput\fR" 4 .IX Item "-o output, --output=output" The output file for the updated package configuration. Default: \&\fIdocs/docknot.yaml\fR relative to the current directory (which is the recommended metadata path for a project). .SH "DIAGNOSTICS" .IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS" If \fBdocknot\fR fails with errors, see the underlying module for that subcommand for information about what those errors might mean. Internally, it can also produce the following diagnostics: .ie n .IP "cannot write to %s: %s" 4 .el .IP "cannot write to \f(CW%s:\fR \f(CW%s\fR" 4 .IX Item "cannot write to %s: %s" (F) The output file specified with \fB\-o\fR could not be written to. .ie n .IP "missing required option %s" 4 .el .IP "missing required option \f(CW%s\fR" 4 .IX Item "missing required option %s" (F) One of the required command-line options was not given. .IP "no subcommand given" 4 .IX Item "no subcommand given" (F) No subcommand was given after \fBdocknot\fR on the command line. .ie n .IP "unknown command %s" 4 .el .IP "unknown command \f(CW%s\fR" 4 .IX Item "unknown command %s" (F) The given subcommand was not recognized. .PP In addition, other Getopt::Long error messages may result from invalid command-line options. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Russ Allbery .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" Copyright 2016, 2018\-2021 Russ Allbery .PP Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the \*(L"Software\*(R"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: .PP The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. .PP \&\s-1THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \*(L"AS IS\*(R", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.\s0 \s-1IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.\s0 .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" App::DocKnot::Config, App::DocKnot::Dist, App::DocKnot::Generate, App::DocKnot::Update .PP This program is part of the App-DocKnot distribution.
