Complete CLI Reference
Generated from the help output of the shipping chargelink binary, version 0.5.0-rc2 (JSON contract native-core-0.55). The installed binary remains the final authority: run chargelink --help and chargelink <command> --help on the machine you operate. The help text comes from pc1\bin\chargelink.exe of the 0.3.1 package.
Global syntax
chargelink [--json] [--runtime-root DIR] [--artifact-root DIR] [--license FILE] <COMMAND> [SUBCOMMAND] [OPTIONS]| Global option | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
--json | off | Emit a machine-readable JSON payload on stdout. On failure a single JSON diagnostic envelope is emitted instead of console text. |
--runtime-root DIR | .chargelink/runtime (relative to the current directory) | Session state, PID, lock and heartbeat files. The license store is the sibling directory <parent>/licenses. |
--artifact-root DIR | .chargelink/artifacts (relative to the current directory) | Run directories with manifest.json, traces, reports and evidence. |
--license FILE | none | Use this license file for the command instead of the activated license. A missing file fails with CL-LICENSE-001 before the command runs. |
-V, --version | Print the CLI version (chargelink 0.3.1 for the documented release). |
Global options may be written before or after the subcommand. Environment variables the CLI reads: the one named by --tls-pfx-password-env; CHARGELINK_API_TOKEN_FILE (the gRPC access token file for every --endpoint / --grpc-endpoint client); CHARGELINK_ISO20_RUNTIME_PROFILE, CHARGELINK_ISO20_LIVE_SEMANTIC_CASE, CHARGELINK_ISO20_FULL_WIRE_SESSION_MANIFEST and the CHARGELINK_ISO20_PNC_* fixture variables of the ISO 15118-20 lanes. Logging is fixed at info level on stderr.
