Available options for specifying values of 'external' variables:
Provide the value as a string:
.TP
\fB\-V\fR / \fB\-\-ext\-str\fR <var>[=<val>]
If <val> is omitted, get from environment var <var>
.HP
\fB\-\-ext\-str\-file\fR <var>=<file> Read the string from the file
.SS "Provide a value as Jsonnet code:"
.TP
\fB\-\-ext\-code\fR <var>[=<code>]
If <code> is omitted, get from environment var <var>
.HP
\fB\-\-ext\-code\-file\fR <var>=<file> Read the code from the file
.PP
Available options for specifying values of 'top\-level arguments':
Provide the value as a string:
.TP
\fB\-A\fR / \fB\-\-tla\-str\fR <var>[=<val>]
If <val> is omitted, get from environment var <var>
.HP
\fB\-\-tla\-str\-file\fR <var>=<file> Read the string from the file
.SS "Provide a value as Jsonnet code:"
.TP
\fB\-\-tla\-code\fR <var>[=<code>]
If <code> is omitted, get from environment var <var>
.HP
\fB\-\-tla\-code\-file\fR <var>=<file> Read the code from the file
.PP
Environment variables:
JSONNET_PATH is a colon (semicolon on Windows) separated list of directories added
in reverse order before the paths specified by \fB\-\-jpath\fR (i.e. left\-most wins)
E.g. JSONNET_PATH=a:b jsonnet \fB\-J\fR c \fB\-J\fR d is equivalent to:
JSONNET_PATH=d:c:a:b jsonnet
jsonnet \fB\-J\fR b \fB\-J\fR a \fB\-J\fR c \fB\-J\fR d
.PP
In all cases:
<filename> can be \- (stdin)
Multichar options are expanded e.g. \fB\-abc\fR becomes \fB\-a\fR \fB\-b\fR \fB\-c\fR.
The \fB\-\-\fR option suppresses option processing for subsequent arguments.
Note that since filenames and jsonnet programs can begin with \-, it is advised to
use \fB\-\-\fR if the argument is unknown, e.g. jsonnet \fB\-\-\fR "$FILENAME".
