Commands for managing general application settings

The kesl-control --get-app-settings command

The command outputs the current values of the general application settings to the console or a configuration file.

Command syntax

kesl-control [-T] --get-app-settings [--file <configuration file path>] [--json]

Arguments and keys

--file <configuration file path> – path to the configuration file where the application general settings will be displayed. If you do not specify the --file option, settings will be output to the console.

If you specify the name of a file without its path, the file will be created in the current directory. If a file already exists in the specified path, it will be overwritten. If the specified directory does not exist, no configuration file will be generated.

--json is specified to output the settings in JSON format. If the --json key is not specified, the settings will be imported in the INI format.

The kesl-control --set-app-settings command

This command configures the general application settings via command options or by importing settings from a configuration file.

Command syntax

Define settings via command options:

kesl-control [-T] --set-app-settings <option name>=<option value> [<option name>=<option value>]

Define settings via a configuration file:

kesl-control [-T] --set-app-settings --file <configuration file path> [--json]

Arguments and keys

<option name>=<option value>: the name and value of a general application setting.

--file <configuration file path> – full path to the configuration file from which you want to import settings into the application.

--json is specified to import the settings from the configuration file into the application in JSON format. If the --json key is not specified, the application attempts to import from an INI file. If the import fails, an error is displayed.
