I would argue that core systemd CLI interface is fairly compact and memorizeable (systemctl start-stop-restart, simple journalctl invocations). Some obscure directives still result in a trip to manpages though.
Openssl, PGP and (mentioned in the thread) ffmpeg are often run on one-off basis with changing inputs and outputs and thus almost always require searching the Internet for the correct flags.
- xeonmc 2y agoso they're like prepared SQL statements in a sense?
- VTimofeenko 2y agoIMHO bringing SQL in is a bit of a stretch; I believe prepared statements are generally strict about their n-arity. Key systemctl commands accept lists of units as subjects of the command. If we were using the SQL analogy, I'd say stored procs were closer.
