Command Reference

dcccli’s usage looks like:

Configuration

-h, --help: Prints help information on options and exits.

-s,--schema text:file: Path/name of the DCC++ EX Layout Schema file. If this file is omitted we will look for the the schema file in the current directory. If not found the system will continue but no validation of the layout will be done and this may yield unpredictable results.

-l,--layout text:file: Path/name of the modelrailroad layout file.

-v,--verbose [setting]: Verbose settings. Setting can be one of [silent|info|warning|debug|trace]. Default is set to info, trace will provide the most verbose output.

-i,--interactive: Interactive mode; Opens a shell from which commands can be issued. Once the cli has started type help at the prompt for more information:

$ ./dcccli -i
