# xair-cli
### Installation
```console
go install github.com/onyx-and-iris/xair-cli@latest
```
### Configuration
#### Flags
Although there exist flags/environment variables for `--host`, `--port` and `--kind` you should only need `--host` for xair mixers and `--host`, `--kind` for the x32.
- --host/-H: Your mixers IP
- --kind/-k: The kind of mixer, use this to connect to an x32. It does two things:
- Adjusts the port to 10023
- Updates some of the OSC addresses.
#### Environment Variables
Example .envrc:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
XAIR_CLI_HOST=mixer.local
XAIR_CLI_PORT=10024
XAIR_CLI_KIND=xr18
XAIR_CLI_RAW_TIMEOUT=50ms
```
### Use
```console
Usage: xair-cli <command> [flags]

Flags:
-h, --help Show context-sensitive help.
--host="mixer.local" The host of the X-Air device ($XAIR_CLI_HOST).
--port=10024 The port of the X-Air device ($XAIR_CLI_PORT).
--kind="xr18" The kind of the X-Air device ($XAIR_CLI_KIND).
-v, --version Print gobs-cli version information and quit

### Notes
For an alternative, python implementation consider checking out [dc-xair-cli](https://pypi.org/project/dc-xair-cli/). It supports some operations like batch commands and network discovery which this CLI doesn't (and I have no plans to implement them).
