CLI Overview

milk compiles into multiple executables:

  • milk-cli: The interactive command line interface (CLI). Running it starts a prompt from which all module functions can be launched. Type m? to list loaded modules and their commands.
  • milk-fpsexec-*: Standalone executables for individual compute units. Each runs a single FPS-enabled function in isolation, managed via tmux and milk-fpsCTRL.

The source code is organized in modules. A module includes C code and documentation. It may also include data files, scripts, and extended documentation.

For more details see the Programmer's Guide.
