tldr-ocaml

A client for tldr written in ocaml.

Installation

Install from opam with:

opam install tldr

Or from source with dune:

git clone https://github.com/RosalesJ/tldr-ocaml.git
cd tldr-ocaml
dune build @install
dune install

Configuration

You can configure tldr by setting environment variables.

Colors

You can customize the colors and style of the display using the following variables

TLDR_COLOR_TITLE
TLDR_COLOR_DESCRIPTION
TLDR_COLOR_EXAMPLE
TLDR_COLOR_COMMAND
TLDR_COLOR_ARGUMENT

And these options

Colors: black | white | red | green | yellow | blue | magenta | cyan 
Styles: bold | underlined | blink

To denote a foreground color use <color> and a background color use on_<color>. List the colors and styles in a string delimited by semicolons. Here is a sample style configuration. Don't use it though, it's really obnoxious.

export TLDR_COLOR_TITLE="red;on_white;blink"
export TLDR_COLOR_DESCRIPTION="yellow"
export TLDR_COLOR_EXAMPLE="cyan;on_magenta;underlined"
export TLDR_COLOR_ARGUMENT="green"
export TLDR_COLOR_COMMAND="blue"

Cache

If caching is enabled then tldr will attempt to load from the cache before fetching from the internet. The cache is located in one of the following locations in decreasing order of precedence.

• $XDG_CACHE_HOME/tldr
• $HOME/.cache/tldr
• ~/.cache/tldr

Here's a sample configuration

export TLDR_CACHE_ENABLED=0      # Caching is disabled (default is enabled)
export TLDR_MAX_CACHE_AGE=168    # Cached pages last 168 hours (default is 24)
