An implementation of tldr in Rust.
If you pronounce "tldr" in English, it sounds somewhat like "tealdeer". Hence the project name :)
High level project goals:
- Download and cache pages
- Don't require a network connection for anything besides updating the cache
- Command line interface similar or equivalent to the NodeJS client
- Be fast
tldr [options] <command>
tldr [options]
Options:
-h --help Show this screen
-v --version Show version information
-l --list List all commands in the cache
-f --render <file> Render a specific markdown file
-o --os <type> Override the operating system [linux, osx, sunos]
-u --update Update the local cache
-c --clear-cache Clear the local cache
Examples:
$ tldr tar
$ tldr --list
To control the cache:
$ tldr --update
$ tldr --clear-cache
To render a local file (for testing):
$ tldr --render /path/to/file.md
Build and install the tool via cargo...
$ cargo install tealdeer
...or from source (see section "Building" in this README).
If you're an Arch Linux user, you can also install the package from the AUR:
$ yaourt -S tealdeer-git
tealdeer requires at least Rust 1.6.
Debug build with logging enabled:
$ cargo build --features logging
Release build without logging:
$ cargo build --release
To enable the log output, set the RUST_LOG
env variable:
$ export RUST_LOG=tldr=debug

Thanks to @SShrike for coming up with the name "tealdeer"!
