NAME
Bot::Cobalt::DB::Term - Bot::Cobalt::DB terminal interface
SYNOPSIS
$ cobalt2-dbterm
## Or via Perl:
Bot::Cobalt::DB::Term->new->interactive;DESCRIPTION
A simple Term::UI-based interface allowing interaction with Bot::Cobalt::DB databases.
Also allows interaction with Bot::Cobalt::Serializer via "thaw" and "freeze".
(For complete functionality you'll probably want Term::ReadLine::Gnu, or at least Term::ReadLine::Perl.)
COMMANDS
Command arguments can be quoted.
help
Retrieve command line help.
quit
Exit.
open
Open a specified database.
Required prior to specifying commands.
The database is opened to make sure it is valid, then unlocked again.
All other operations take place against whatever database was last opened via open.
create
Create and open a new database at the specified location.
current
Display the path to the currently-selected database.
keys
List or search database keys.
If no arguments are specified, the entire list of keys will be returned.
A regular expression can be specified as an argument.
get
Get the raw value for a specified key.
getref
Display the deserialiazed reference for a specified key.
Bot::Cobalt::DB databases usually store values as serialized references; getref will use Data::Dumper to display the data structure that would be created by deserializing.
put
put KEY DATA ...Add raw data to the specified key.
(You can, of course, horribly break your database this way, if you like.)
putref
putref KEY PERLDATA ...Add a serialized reference to the specified key.
For example:
putref MyKey { Some => 'Hash', Array => [ ] }
putref MyArr [ 'A', 'B', 'C' ]del
Deletes the specified key.
freeze
Freezes a Perl data structure via Bot::Cobalt::Serializer.
For example:
freeze { Some => 'Hash' }Defaults to JSON. A Bot::Cobalt::Serializer format can optionally be specified:
freeze --yaml { Some => 'Hash' }
freeze --xml { Some => 'Hash' }thaw
Thaws a serialized data structure and displays it via Data::Dumper.
