Reference

Every command, the configuration, the output system, and what each exit code means.

The guides explain how fb reads Facebook. The reference is the map: every command, everything configurable, every format, and what to do when a read fails.

  • CLI: every command, its own flags, and the global flags they all share.
  • Configuration: the data directory, the request defaults, the cache, and --tier.
  • Output: ten formats, --fields, templates, and the envelope on every record.
  • Troubleshooting: the nine exit codes, the wall, and how to file a bug.
