Description

The cli command permits getting and changing the current parser at runtime.

cli get

It shows the current value of the parser used by the CLI.

cli set

Examples

Change the current parser:

=> cli get
old
=> cli set modern
=> cli get

=> cli set foo
Bad value for parser name: foo
cli - cli

Usage:

Trying to set the current parser to a correct value but its code was not compiled:

=> cli get
