NAME

       cbor - Batteries-included CBOR Read, Edit, Print Loop

SYNOPSIS

         # cbor
         cbor [VERSION] (javascript output from typing 0x00)
         cbor> ...
         ^D

DESCRIPTION

       cbor    is    a    version    of    the    Node    Read,    Edit,    Print    Loop   (REPL
       https://nodejs.org/api/repl.html).  In this REPL:

       • most interactive results output are followed by their CBOR representation

       • input that starts with 0x, ', ", or ` and is followed only by hex digits is taken  as  a
         hex-encoded binary string, decoded, and displayed in a format based on the --type option

       • the following are already imported and in-scope of the REPL:

         • the cbor package

         • the nofilter package (as NoFilter)

         • all of the properties and functions of the cbor package (e.g. encode, decode)

         • Promises  are  automatically  awaited,  their results printed, and their results going
           into the _ variable rather than the promise itself

       Note that by default this command shares its history with the main Node REPL, in the  file
       ~/.node_repl_history.   If  you want to modify that, set the NODE_REPL_HISTORY environment
       variable to the name of a file, or '' to disable history.

OPTIONS

       -V, --version: output the version number

       -c, --color: Force color output even if stdout is not a TTY

       -t,  --type  <type>:  Output  type  (one  of:  javascript,  diagnose,  comment)  (default:
       "javascript")

       -h, --help: display help for

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       All of the normal environment variables from Node apply.  In particular:

       NODE_REPL_HISTORY:  When  a  valid path is given, persistent REPL history will be saved to
       the specified file rather than .node_repl_history in the user's  home  directory.  Setting
       this  value  to '' (an empty string) will disable persistent REPL history. Whitespace will
       be trimmed from the value. On Windows platforms environment variables  with  empty  values
       are invalid so set this variable to one or more spaces to disable persistent REPL history.

       NODE_REPL_HISTORY_SIZE: Controls how many lines of history will be persisted if history is
       available. Must be a positive number. Default: 1000.

       NODE_REPL_MODE: May be either 'sloppy' or 'strict'. Default: 'sloppy',  which  will  allow
       non-strict mode code to be run.
