Command Line
Black Knight provides a command line interface for Chameleon to support batch processes and programmatic invocation. When running Chameleon from the command line, you must use the following syntax:
Usage
Usage: chameleon-console file[ file2 [file3 ...]] --chamfile=filename.cham [[--quiet|-q |--hidebanner|-b]| --version|-v| --help|-h|-?]
Brief explanation of flags
|
|
|
|---|---|
| file[ file2 [file3 ...]] | The list of log files on which Chameleon should operate. At least one file must be specified. |
| --chamfile=filename.cham | Required. Specifies a .cham file that denotes which plug-ins are to be run. If datafiles are specified in the .cham file they will be ignored. |
| --hidebanner or -b | Suppresses the version banner. |
| --quiet or -q | Surpresses all status messages except errors. |
| --version or -v | Displays the version banner for the command line client and associated libraries. |
| --help, -h, or -? | Displays command line specific help. |
Chameleon-console supports Linux style flag combinations (of which the only valid combination is hide banner and quiet) as well as the Windows parameter specifier, '/'. Long parameters are not supported by the Windows '/' specifier.
