jadpo help

On this page

Show commands, flags and examples.

Show every command grouped by job, or one command's arguments, flags and examples, a rule's page by the id on an error's rule: line, or a standard type's page by its name, offline. jadpo help types lists every standard type. With --json, print the whole command reference and the rule catalogue as data, or one type's shape.

usage
jadpo help [command]

Arguments

  • command (optional): The command, rule or standard type to explain

On every command

  • --json: Print data for tools instead of text
  • --full: Show everything a report shortens
  • --help: Show every flag, with examples
  • --color <when>: Choose when to use colour

jadpo help --json writes one JSON document to standard output instead of text, with the same exit code. The document has schemaVersion, command ("help"), ok, data (what the command produced, null when it failed) and diagnostics (each error with its rule, reason, next and help). A command that needs a terminal refuses --json and names the flags that do the same job.
