# fsqlite-cli
Interactive SQL shell for FrankenSQLite, providing a REPL and single-command
execution mode.
## Overview
`fsqlite-cli` is the command-line binary for FrankenSQLite. It compiles to the
`fsqlite` executable and provides:
- **Interactive REPL** -- Multi-line SQL input with TTY-aware prompts. The
shell keeps classic `fsqlite> ` / `...> ` prompts for `:memory:` sessions and
shows the current database name after `.open` or when launched against a file.
- **TTY syntax highlighting** -- Continuation prompts render a highlighted
preview of the pending SQL statement so interactive sessions surface keywords,
literals, and comments more clearly.
- **Single-command mode** (`-c` / `--command`) -- Execute one SQL string and
exit. SQL and supported dot-commands both work here, which makes the CLI
easier to script.
- **sqlite3-style dot commands** -- `.read`, `.open`, `.tables`, `.schema`,
`.dump`, `.mode`, and `.headers` / `.header` are built in for common shell
workflows.
- **Batch mode for piped stdin** -- When stdin/stdout are not attached to a TTY,
prompts are suppressed automatically so pipelines stay clean, and `-batch` /
`--batch` can force the same behavior on a TTY.
- **Decode proof verification** (`--verify-proof`) -- Verify ECS decode proofs
from a JSON file, with configurable policy ID and slack parameters.
- **In-memory or file-backed** -- Defaults to `:memory:` if no database path is
provided; pass a file path as a positional argument for persistent storage.
**Position in the dependency graph:**

--> fsqlite-core (engine)
--> fsqlite-parser, fsqlite-planner, fsqlite-vdbe, ...
```
Dependencies: `fsqlite`, `fsqlite-core`, `fsqlite-error`, `fsqlite-types`,
`serde`, `serde_json`.
## Key Types
- `CliOptions` -- Parsed command-line arguments (db path, command, verify-proof
path, policy ID, slack, help flag).
- `main()` / `run()` -- Entry point. Dispatches to REPL, single-command
execution, or proof verification based on CLI arguments.
## Usage
```bash
# Interactive REPL with in-memory database
fsqlite
# Interactive REPL with a file-backed database
fsqlite mydb.sqlite
# Execute a single SQL command
fsqlite mydb.sqlite -c "SELECT * FROM users;"
# Execute against in-memory database
fsqlite -c "SELECT 1 + 2;"
# Run dot commands in command mode
fsqlite demo.db -c ".schema users"
fsqlite demo.db -c ".dump"
# Feed SQL through stdin without prompts in the output
printf 'SELECT 1;\n' | fsqlite demo.db
# Verify an ECS decode proof
fsqlite --verify-proof proof.json
# Show help
fsqlite --help
```
### CLI Options
| `<db_path>` | Database file path (default: `:memory:`) |
| `-c`, `--command <SQL>` | Execute SQL or a dot-command and exit |
| `-batch`, `--batch` | Force batch-mode execution with prompts disabled |
| `-init`, `--init <FILE>` | Run a startup script before command mode or the REPL |
| `--verify-proof <path>` | Verify ECS decode proof from JSON file |
| `--verify-policy-id <N>` | Policy ID for proof verification |
| `--verify-slack <N>` | Slack parameter for proof verification |
| `-h`, `--help` | Show usage information |
### Dot Commands
| `.help` | Show shell help |
| `.open <path>` | Re-open the shell against another database |
| `.tables [pattern]` | List tables and views, optionally filtered by `LIKE` pattern |
| `.schema [pattern]` | Print schema SQL, optionally filtered by `LIKE` pattern |
| `.dump [pattern]` | Emit schema and table contents as SQL text |
| `.mode <mode>` | Set output mode: `list`, `column`, `csv`, `tabs`, `line` |
| `.headers <on\|off>` | Toggle column headers (`.header` alias also works) |
| `.read <path>` | Execute commands from a file |
| `.quit`, `.exit` | Leave the shell |
