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

For text or cborhex forms of input or output, each line is handled as a separate ARI and converted independently until the input stream is ended. For cbor form of input or output, the stream is treated as a CBOR sequence [7] and each CBOR data item is handled as a separate ARI.

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

Named Arguments

--log-level

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

The minimum log severity.

Default: info
--inform

Possible choices: auto, text, 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 'text'. 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, text, cbor, cborhex

The output encoding.

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

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

Default: -
