NAME

       hocon - manipulate HOCON files

SYNOPSIS

       hocon [options] {get,set,unset} PATH [VALUE]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hocon(1)  command  can  be used to get and set values on HOCON files.  HOCON (Human-Optimized Config
       Object Notation) is a data format with the semantics of JSON, but more  convenient  as  a  human-editable
       config file format.

EXAMPLES

       hocon -i settings.conf -o new_settings.conf set some.nested.value 42

       hocon -f settings.conf set some.nested.value 42

       cat settings.conf | hocon get some.nested.value
