mnem-cli 0.1.3

//! How to spawn the `mnem` binary from Rust and capture its output.
//!
//! Many integration builders (build scripts, AI-agent shims, custom
//! wrappers) don't want to depend on the library surface of
//! `mnem-core` directly; they want the friendly, stable `mnem` CLI as
//! a subprocess and a way to feed it flags + parse its stdout.
//!
//! This example shows the pattern: locate the freshly-built binary,
//! invoke it with `--help`, and print the first few lines. Under
//! `cargo run --example shell_integration -p mnem-cli` the binary is
//! at `target/debug/mnem[.exe]` next to the example. In production
//! the caller should resolve it via `$PATH` or pass an absolute path
//! the operator supplied.
//!
//! See also:
//! - `docs/guide/cli.md` - user-facing command reference.
//! - `docs/guide/installation.md` - how to get `mnem` on `$PATH`.
//! - `mnem completions <shell>` - bash/zsh/fish/powershell/elvish.
//!
//! Run:
//! ```console
//! cargo run --example shell_integration -p mnem-cli
//! ```
