Commands

Since Talos is a command-line program, functionality is invoked by it's various available subcommands.

• run  —  Execute a script/project with Talos.
• tasks  —  Runs pre-defined crate manifest tasks.
• test  —  Runs all available unit tests with Talos.
• bundle  —  Bundles scripts/projects into executables.
• format  —  Formats scripts/projects with the builtin styler.
• lint  —  Lints scripts/projects for enhanced static analysis.
• upgrade  —  Upgrades to the latest version of Talos available.

Additionally, the following flags retrieve additional information about the runtime.

# Shows the usage prompt for Talos
talos --help

# Gets the current executable version
talos --version

# Lists all the vendors used by Talos
talos --vendors

Environment Variables (Internal)

The following environment variables are available across all subcommands.

TALOS_LOGGING_LEVEL

This variable allows setting the debug logging level, which can provide additional debugging information for the underlying runtime and subcommands. It can be one of theses levels: trace, debug, warn, error, fatal and is currently preset to warn.

TALOS_HARDWARE_VPROCS

This variable allows declaring the total underlying virtual processors to be used. By default, Talos will use the maximum available hardware processors.

# A arbitrary number can be used.
export TALOS_HARDWARE_VPROCS=8

# This forces Talos into a "single-threaded" mode.
export TALOS_HARDWARE_VPROCS=1

# For when you want to ensure the maximum processors.
export TALOS_HARDWARE_VPROCS=0

Environment Variables (External)

NO_COLOR

Talos is shipped with the informal NO_COLOR standard. This environment variable can be assigned a value other than 0 to disable all colored outputs. Furthermore, this will also forcibly toggle the enablement of the builtin ANSI crate.

NO_PROGRESS

Talos is shipped with the informal NO_PROGRESS standard. This environment variable can be assigned a value other than 0 to disable all spinners and progress bars. This is particularly useful for logging testing results without distortions in non-terminal contexts.
