What is it?
RTFM is a great and useful book, BUT a bit pointless when you have to transcribe it, so this little program will aim to be the spiritual successor to it.
I would recommend picking up a copy of the book from Amazon, it is pretty handy to have!
Quick Start
Download, Update, Look for something!
$ chmod +x rtfm.py
$ ./rtfm.py -u
$ ./rtfm.py -e 'Something'
Usage
$ rtfm.py -h
Usage: rtfm.py [OPTIONS]
For when you just cant remember the syntax, you should just RTFM
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-e SA, --everything=SA
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--delete=DELETE Delete specified ID
-t TAG, --tag=TAG Specify one or more tags to look for (a, b, c)
-c CMD, --cmd=CMD Specify a command to search (ls)
-R REMARK, --remark=REMARK
Search the comments feilds
-r REFER, --reference=REFER
Search for the reference [reference]
-a AUTHOR, --author=AUTHOR
Search for author
-A DATE, --added-on=DATE
Search by date, useful for when you want to commit back!
-p PRINTER, --print=PRINTER
Print Types : P(retty) p(astable) w(iki) h(tml) d(ump)
-i INSERT, --insert=INSERT
Insert c(ommand) | t(ags) | r(eferances) |
(E)verything
-D DUMP, --dump=DUMP Just Dump infomration about
t(ags)|c(commands)|r(eferances)a(ll)
-d, --debug Display verbose processing details (default: False)
-u, --update Check for updates (default: false)
-v Shows the current version number and the current DB
hash and exits
Example: rtfm.py -c rtfm -t linux -R help -r git -pP -d
Its pretty much a simple search program, nothing to fancy, examples include:
Searching the DB
Searching the DB is handled through the following switches: e, t, c, R, r, a and, A. When you are just browsing for a command, you will want to use e as this looks at the command, comment, and referances all at the same time, useful if you know a bit about something such as x11:
$ ./rtfm.py -e x11 -pP
