CLI Reference
All commands are available as metawarc <command>. Use
metawarc <command> --help for the live flag list of the installed version.
Shared workspace commands accept --dbfile and --data-dir. Query values use
bound parameters. Only local list-files and dump accept the visibly unsafe
--unsafe-where escape hatch. Mutating recovery operations preview by default
and require --apply where removal is involved.
