Commandline usage
=================
After installation_, ``bat --help`` will show you general usage instructions.
The command structure is::
bat [common options] {subcommand} [subcommand-specific options]
The common options are all optional::
-p, --profile Run the profiler, write to bam.prof
-v, --verbose Log INFO level and higher
-d, --debug Log everything
-q, --quiet Log at ERROR level and higher
For most users only ``--verbose`` is useful, the other options can be very
helpful during development or debugging.
Logging is sent to ``stderr``, whereas regular output is sent to ``stdout``.
The available subcommands are described in the next sections. Each subcommand
also takes a ``--help`` argument to get specific usage instructions.
List
----
The ``bat list`` command lists the dependencies of a blend file. When there are
no dependencies, it outputs nothing. Example::
% bat list tests/blendfiles/doubly_linked.blend
tests/blendfiles/doubly_linked.blend
tests/blendfiles/linked_cube.blend
tests/blendfiles/material_textures.blend
tests/blendfiles/linked_cube.blend
tests/blendfiles/basic_file.blend
tests/blendfiles/material_textures.blend
tests/blendfiles/textures/Bricks/brick_dotted_04-bump.jpg
tests/blendfiles/textures/Bricks/brick_dotted_04-color.jpg
By passing the ``--json`` option it outputs to JSON rather than plain text::
{
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/material_textures.blend": [
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/textures/Bricks/brick_dotted_04-bump.jpg",
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/textures/Bricks/brick_dotted_04-color.jpg"
],
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/linked_cube.blend": [
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/basic_file.blend"
],
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/doubly_linked.blend": [
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/linked_cube.blend",
"/path/to/blender-asset-tracer/tests/blendfiles/material_textures.blend"
]
}
Note that in this case all paths are absolute, whereas the regular output shows
paths relative to the current working directory.
Pack
----
The ``bat pack`` command takes the dependencies as shown by ``bat list`` and
copies them to a target. This target can be a directory, a ZIP file, or
S3-compatible storage::
bat pack [-h] [-p PROJECT] [-n] [-e [EXCLUDEs] blendfile target
The optional arguments influence the manner of packing::
-p PROJECT, --project PROJECT
Root directory of your project. Paths to below this
directory are kept in the BAT Pack as well, whereas
references to assets from outside this directory will
have to be rewitten. The blend file MUST be inside the
project directory. If this option is ommitted, the
directory containing the blend file is taken as the
project directoy.
-n, --noop Don't copy files, just show what would be done.
-e [EXCLUDEs, --exclude [EXCLUDEs]
Space-separated list of glob patterns (like '*.abc')
to exclude.
