# Distributor CLI

## Shortest useful command

```sh
go run ./cmd/distributor --help
```

This prints the currently implemented command shell.

## Command overview

```sh
distributor --help
distributor version
distributor run
distributor validate
distributor inspect
```

`version` prints the application name and version. The default development version is `dev`; release builds may replace it at build time.

`run`, `validate`, and `inspect` are command placeholders. They intentionally fail with a clear `not implemented` error until the corresponding application behavior exists.

## Flag reference

The root command supports:

- `--help`, `-h`: print root help.

Each implemented subcommand supports:

- `--help`, `-h`: print command-specific help.
