I plan to port all to features to +Crux someday. + +*Tested on*: +- OpenBSD 6.7 + - Perl v5.30 + + +[Cetus] https://andinus.nand.sh/cetus/ + + +1 Documentation +=============== + +1.1 Options +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +1.1.1 Crux +---------- + +* 1.1.1.1 debug + + This will print additional information that'll help you to debug the + code. You might see multiple Unveil warnings on non-OpenBSD systems, + ignore them. + + $response received from the api will also be printed. + + +* 1.1.1.2 help + + Prints quick help information listing all the options & a small + description. + + +1.1.2 Unsplash Source +--------------------- + + Some options cannot be mixed, if you mix them then expect unexpected + results. It won't fail but can return photos that you didn't ask for. + + For example, `--search nature --user test' - You might think this will + return an image from user "test" & related to "nature" but it won't! + It will either return an image related to "nature" or user "test" + because these options cannot be mixed. Look at [Unsplash Source] to + know more about the kind of queries that are valid. + + I could write a check for invalid options but that would be + complicated so I didn't, it's easier to ignore invalid options & you + can always pass the `debug' option to see what query it constructed. + + `--search nature --daily' - This is a valid set, I have written about + valid sets below, like under `daily' it's mentioned that you can pass + `search' option so read each description. + + +[Unsplash Source] https://source.unsplash.com + +* 1.1.2.1 resolution + + Default is "1920x1080", it doesn't check the value passed so make sure + you pass the correct value. This can be passed with any option, it + will be ignored if not applicable. + + +* 1.1.2.2 search + + Search accepts multiple space seperated values. It's passed directly + to the api. + + *Note*: The feature to get space seperated values is marked as + experimental in Getopt::Long so the behaviour can change in future, + worse even get removed. To guarantee backwards compatibility pass each + value by itself like `--search rocky --search mountain', this is + equivalent to `--search rocky mountain'. + + +* 1.1.2.3 featured + + Only Unsplash curated images are returned if you pass `featured', this + can be passed along with `search'. + + +* 1.1.2.4 user + + This will return a random photo from given user. + + +* 1.1.2.5 userlikes + + Only returns random photo from user's likes, this is a boolean & can + be passed with `user' option. + + +* 1.1.2.6 collection + + Returns photos from a collection. + + +* 1.1.2.7 daily, weekly + + This will return a set random daily or weekly image. `user' & `search' + option can be passed to narrow the selection. + + +1.2 Cross-platform compatibility +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + Crux should run on all supported platforms, there is OpenBSD specific + code but it's ignored on other platforms.
