kira [options]
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
-h, --help |
Show help message and exit. |
-V, --version |
Output version information and exit. |
--pretty[=<format>] |
Pretty-print the result in a given format, where <format> can be ascii or box. When ascii argument is given, then |, -, and + ASCII characters will be used to create the grid. The box argument tells kira to use Unicode box-drawing characters for grid generation. When =<format> is omitted, it defaults to ascii. |
--color |
Colorize the output. |
The kira's input consists of an optional grid of cell values and any number
(including zero) of equations. The grid consists of values from 1 to 9 and dots
representing empty cells. If present, the grid should have a length of 81.
An equation consists of one or more 2-dimensional coordinates of cells,
separated by the + sign, followed by the = sign and an integer. Each
coordinate consists of zero-based row and column numbers separated by a comma
and surrounded with parentheses. Whitespace characters are generally ignored,
but each equation needs to be on its own line.
To finish entering the input, type Ctrl-D on GNU/Linux or Ctrl-Z followed by Enter on Windows.
