This tool converts ARIs between different encoding forms. It uses command-line options to control the ARI conversion.

The options related to input or output forms allow the following values:

The form "uri" meaning a newline-separated, URI-encoded form of ARIs consistent with the "application/uri-list" media type and Section 9.2 of ARI [5]. For backward compatibility, there is a "text" form which is an alias for the "uri" form.
The form "cbor" meaning a sequence of CBOR-encoded form of ARIs consistent with the "application/cbor-seq" media type and Section 9.2 of ARI [5].
The form "cborhex" meaning a newline-separated, base16-encoded, CBOR-encoded form of ARIs consistent with the "text/plain" media type and Section 9.2 of ARI [5].

For "uri" or "cborhex" forms of input, each line is handled as a separate ARI and converted independently until the input stream is ended. For "cbor" form of input, the stream is treated as a CBOR sequence [8] and each CBOR data item is converted independently until the input stream is ended.

usage: cace_ari [--help,-h]
                [--log-level,-l {debug,info,warning,error,crit}]
                [--inform,-i {auto,uri,cbor,cborhex}] [--source,-s {filename or -}]
                [--outform,-o {uri,cbor,cborhex}] [--dest,-d {filename or -}]

Named Options

For all options of this command, if any option is supplied multiple times the last use supersedes all others.

--log-level

Possible choices: debug, info, warning, error, crit

The minimum log severity.

Default: info
--inform

Possible choices: auto, uri, cbor, cborhex

The input encoding.

The choice of 'auto' uses the initial bytes of the first input to detect the scheme "ari:" to indicate if the input is 'uri'. Otherwise, it is assumed to be 'cborhex' and processed accordingly.

Default: auto
--source

The input file name to read or "-" for stdin stream.

Default: -
--outform

Possible choices: auto, uri, cbor, cborhex

The output encoding.

The choice of 'auto' assumes a 'uri' output if the input is 'cbor' or 'cborhex' and assumes a 'cborhex' output if the input is 'uri'.
--dest

The output file name to write or "-" for stdout stream.

Default: -
