The utility weectl

This is a guide to the utility weectl. As of version 5.0, this utility has two "subcommands", each with its own set of "actions". Eventually, it will subsume more and more of the functionality of the other utilities.

weectl station : The creation, initialization, reconfiguration, and upgrading of "user data" areas.

weectl extension : The installation and uninstallation of extensions.

Running weectl --help will give an overview of its subcommands:

% weectl --help        
usage: weectl -v|--version
       weectl -h|--help
       weectl station --help
       weectl extension --help

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -v, --version        show program name and version number and exit

Available subcommands:
  {station,extension}
    station            Create, modify, or upgrade a configuration file
    extension          List, install, or uninstall extensions
