fusou CLI flags

The Windows installer registers the fusou executable in the %PATH%, so you can launch the app or query metadata directly from a terminal. The following flags mirror the CLI behavior implemented in src-tauri.

Global flags

Flag	Description
-V, --version	Prints the human-readable product name and version, then exits without launching the UI.
-l, --logs	Attaches the process to the invoking terminal (or allocates a new console window on Windows) so that runtime logs stream to stdout. Use this when you want to monitor tracing output while the UI is running.

Global flags can be combined with subcommands. For example, fusou --logs info prints metadata and keeps the console available for subsequent runs.

Subcommands

info

Prints detailed metadata about the current installation, such as the identifier, resolved executable path, resource directory, and config directories.

info accepts one optional flag:

Flag	Description
--json	Emits the same metadata as pretty-printed JSON. Useful for scripting or diagnostics.

Usage examples

# Check the installed version
fusou --version

# Inspect install metadata as JSON
fusou info --json

# Start the UI but mirror logs to the current terminal session
fusou --logs

Notes

• --logs only controls console attachment. The UI still launches normally; closing the GUI terminates the process and returns you to the shell.
• info and --version exit immediately after printing their output. Combine them with --logs only when you also plan to start the app afterwards.
• If you launch fusou --logs from the Windows Start menu or Explorer (without an existing terminal), Windows automatically opens a new console window to host the log stream.
