SYNOPSIS

toquet [options] QUERY-URI [QUERY-BASE-URI]
toquet [options] -e QUERY-STRING [QUERY-BASE-URI]
toquet [options] --describe URI

Options:
  --exec Q, -e Q        Provide query as a string
  --describe U          Describe URI <U>
  --input L, -i L       Set query language to L
  --results F, -O F     Set result format to F
  --endpoint U, -E U    SPARQL Protocol endpoint
  --data U, -D U        Data to query
  --named U, -G U       Named graph to query
  --dump-query F, -d F  Dump query in format F
  --count, -c           Count results only
  --quiet, -q           No extra information messages
  --help, -h            Show this help
  --version, -v         Show module versions

Query languages: sparql, rdql.

Graph output formats: rdfxml, turtle, ntriples,
                      rdfjson, canonical.
Binding output formats: xml, json, text.
Boolean output formats: xml, json, text.

Dump formats: sparql, sse, parsed, pattern.

OPTIONS

--exec, -e

Provides the string to use as a query. May be in SPARQL or RDQL. (RDQL is even supported on remote endpoints which only speak SPARQL!)

If omitted, a query URI must be provided instead. This URI will be dereferenced (fetched) and a query is expected to be found inside (the HTTP Content-Type header is ignored).

The query base URI may be provided to allow the resolution of any relative URI references in the query.

--describe

Request a description of a particular URI. This overrides --exec. Multiple URIs can be provided.

--results, -r, --output, -o

Specifies the output format. The synopsis of this manual page shows a list of input formats.

Defaults are 'ntriples' (for graphs) and 'text' (for bindings and booleans).

--endpoint, -E

A SPARQL Protocol 1.0 endpoint to query.

--data, -D

Adds data from a URL to the default (unnamed) graph to be queried.

This option can be used multiple times, but cannot be used in conjunction with --endpoint.

--named, -G, --source, -s

Adds data from a URL to a named graph to be queried.

This option can be used multiple times, but cannot be used in conjunction with --endpoint.

--dump-query, -d

Dump the query itself (not the results).

Queries can be dumped as a SPARQL string (useful for interpolating relative URIs, or converting from RDQL), or as SSE. The parsed query (or just the graph pattern within it) can be dumped in YAML.

--count, -c

Suppresses the output of the data, and just shows a count of triples/bindings instead.

Boolean results (i.e. ASK queries) always return a count of 1.

--quiet, -q

Hides useless debugging messages.

--help, -h

Shows a short help message.

--version, -v

Shows the version of various Perl modules used by toquet. toquet itself doesn't have a version number, but is distributed along with RDF::TrineShortcuts, so could be considered to have the same version number as that.

NOTE

When possible, toquet attempts to use the same command-line options as the 'roqet' tool that is distributed with librasqal. However, full compatibility with roqet is not a goal, and is certainly not guaranteed.

A toquet is a small bonnet-like hat.
