Overview
Parse a PKGINFO file and output it in a different file format
If the input can be validated according to a known schema, the program writes the PKGINFO data to stdout in a different file format (optionally, a file path to write to may be provided) and exits with a return code of 0. Currently only JSON is supported as output format. If the input can not be validated according to a known schema, an error is emitted on stderr and the program exits with a non-zero exit code.
Options
-
-s, --schema <VERSION> -
Provide the PKGINFO schema version to use.
If no schema version is provided, it will be deduced from the file itself.
-o,--output-format<OUTPUT_FORMAT> [default: json]-
The output format to use
Currently only "json" (the default) is supported
Possible values:
- •
-
json: The JSON output format
-
-p, --pretty -
Pretty-print the output
Has no effect if the output format can not be pretty printed.
-
-h, --help -
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
- [FILE]
-
An optional input file path to read from
If no file path is specified, stdin is read from and expected to contain PKGINFO data to format.
