VERSION

This document describes version 0.050 of lcpand-simple (from Perl distribution App-lcpan-Daemon), released on 2020-05-08.

SYNOPSIS

Start the server:

% lcpand-simple

Then you can use any Riap client to query the server, e.g. App::riap:

% riap riap+tcp://127.0.0.1:8001/
riap / > ls
riap / > authors --help
riap / > authors PERLA%

% telnet localhost 8001
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

OPTIONS

* marks required options.

Main options

--daemonize
--port=s@

Default value:

["127.0.0.1:8001"]

Can be specified multiple times.

--ports-json=s

See --port.

--unix-socket=s@

Default value:

[]

Can be specified multiple times.

--unix-sockets-json=s

See --unix-socket.

Configuration options

--config-path=s, -c

Set path to configuration file.

--config-profile=s, -P

Set configuration profile to use.

--no-config, -C

Do not use any configuration file.

Environment options

--no-env

Do not read environment for default options.

Logging options

--debug

Shortcut for --log-level=debug.

--log-level=s

Set log level.

--quiet

Shortcut for --log-level=error.

--trace

Shortcut for --log-level=trace.

--verbose

Shortcut for --log-level=info.

Output options

--format=s

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

undef
--json

Set output format to json.

--naked-res

When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.

Default value:

0

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:

[1,2,3]
--page-result

Filter output through a pager.

Other options

--cpan=s

Location of your local CPAN mirror, e.g. /path/to/cpan.

Defaults to ~/cpan.

--help, -h, -?

Display help message and exit.

--index-name=s

Filename of index.

Default value:

"index.db"

If `index_name` is a filename without any path, e.g. `index.db` then index will be located in the top-level of `cpan`. If `index_name` contains a path, e.g. `./index.db` or `/home/ujang/lcpan.db` then the index will be located solely using the `index_name`.

--no-use-bootstrap

If you are indexing your private CPAN-like repository, you want to turn this off.

--version, -v

Display program's version and exit.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

complete -C lcpand-simple lcpand-simple

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

complete lcpand-simple 'p/*/`lcpand-simple`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.

CONFIGURATION FILE

This script can read configuration files. Configuration files are in the format of IOD, which is basically INI with some extra features.

By default, these names are searched for configuration filenames (can be changed using --config-path): ~/.config/lcpand-simple.conf, ~/.config/lcpan.conf, ~/lcpand-simple.conf, ~/lcpan.conf, /etc/lcpand-simple.conf, or /etc/lcpan.conf.

All found files will be read and merged.

To disable searching for configuration files, pass --no-config.

You can put multiple profiles in a single file by using section names like [profile=SOMENAME] or [SOMESECTION profile=SOMENAME]. Those sections will only be read if you specify the matching --config-profile SOMENAME.

You can also put configuration for multiple programs inside a single file, and use filter program=NAME in section names, e.g. [program=NAME ...] or [SOMESECTION program=NAME]. The section will then only be used when the reading program matches.

Finally, you can filter a section by environment variable using the filter env=CONDITION in section names. For example if you only want a section to be read if a certain environment variable is true: [env=SOMEVAR ...] or [SOMESECTION env=SOMEVAR ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable has value equals something: [env=HOSTNAME=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable does not equal something: [env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when an environment variable contains something: [env=HOSTNAME*=server ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]. Note that currently due to simplistic parsing, there must not be any whitespace in the value being compared because it marks the beginning of a new section filter or section name.
