Simple CLI invocation with "default" options

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Simple CLI commands like droid file.jpg or droid directory/ fail with the error “Incorrect command line syntax: No command line options specified” because some options are not optional at all. Is it just me or wouldn’t one expect that this just works by identifying the given files/directories (recursively) with the latest available (container) signature file? To me this seems like the “default” behavior for quick command line usage.

Personally, I work around this by tweaking your droid.sh file a little so that it accepts a CLI invocation like this. Would you possibly like to add this feature to DROID? In this case I will open a pull request.

Have a nice weekend, Martin

I’ve now added this to my new command line code. If you don’t specify any other top level arguments, it will default to just identifying files, and output the results to the console by default as CSV:

droid {file1} {file2} etc…

You can still specify other standard options to recurse into folder as normal, or to output to a file:

droid {file1} {folder1} -R -o “/home/user/scans/results.csv”

Thanks Martin. My preference would be to do it in the command line and also assess the impact on existing.

You are quite right about being cautious.

Thanks once again for identifying this, we would take it up as per the priorities of existing issues.
