Description

nfdc is a command-line tool to manage a running instance of NFD.

All features of nfdc are organized into subcommands. To print a list of all subcommands, run nfdc without arguments. To show how to use a subcommand, run nfdc help followed by the subcommand name.

Options

<COMMAND>

A subcommand name. It usually contains a noun and a verb.

<ARGUMENTS>

Arguments to the subcommand.

-h, --help

Print a list of available subcommands and exit.

-V, --version

Show version information and exit.

-f <file>, --batch <file>

Process the list of arguments specified in file as if they would have appeared on the command line. When running a sequence of commands in rapid succession from a script, this option ensures that the commands are properly timestamped and can therefore be accepted by NFD.

When necessary, arguments should be escaped using a backslash (\), single quotes ('), or double quotes ("). If any of the commands fail, processing will stop at that command and nfdc will exit with error code 2. Empty lines and lines that start with the # character are ignored. Note that the batch file does not support empty string arguments ("" or ''), even if they would normally be supported on the regular command line of nfdc.

Examples

nfdc

List all subcommands.

nfdc help face create

Show how to use the nfdc face create subcommand.
