cli-fp user manual

This page remains as a stable starting point for existing links. The v1.4.2 documentation is organized by the job you want to do rather than as one long manual.

Start here

• Your first cli-fp program — compile the smallest root command and understand its three moving parts.
• Commands and subcommands — choose a root, named, or nested command shape.
• Options and validation — register and retrieve supported parameter types.

Find an answer

• How do I...? — concise recipes for common tasks.
• Output, errors, and progress — colours, spinners, progress, and exit codes.
• Shell completion — generate Bash and PowerShell scripts.
• Current limitations and gotchas — supported boundaries before you design around an assumption.

Look up or maintain

• Runnable examples — compare a working program by goal.
• Generator guide — scaffold and regenerate a larger project.
• API reference — signatures and contracts.
• Technical documentation — architecture and maintainer material.

When documentation and source disagree, the public units in src/ and their tests are authoritative.
