canair config
usage: canair config [-h] {show,example,path,get,set,unset,edit} ...
``canair config`` — view and manage user configuration.
Shows the effective (merged) configuration, where it lives on disk, the
resolved transport, and the configured devices — and edits the user config
(``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/canair/config.yaml``) in place, preserving comments.
Subcommands:
show Show config file locations + effective settings (default)
example Print the commented, fully-documented example config
path Print the user config file path (handy for scripting)
get KEY Print one value; KEY may be dotted (e.g. transport.port)
set KEY VALUE Set a value (dotted keys create nested mappings)
unset KEY Remove a value
edit Open the user config in $EDITOR
Examples:
canair config
canair config example
canair config set default_wican home
canair config set devices.home.host 10.0.2.86
canair config set devices.home.transport wican-ws
canair config get transport.host
canair config unset transport.port
Every key is documented — with inline comments — in `canair config example`
(`config.example.yaml` in the repo root); it's the authoritative reference. See

Every key is documented in `canair config example` (config.example.yaml) and https://philipkocanda.github.io/canair/reference/config/
positional arguments:
key Config key, e.g. transport.type or devices.home.host
value Value (coerced to int/float/bool where unambiguous)
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s, --string Store the value verbatim as a string (skip int/bool coercion)
examples:
canair config set default_wican home
canair config set devices.home.host 10.0.2.86
canair config set devices.home.transport slcan-tcp # or: wican-ws
canair config set transport.fallback false # disable auto-fallback
canair config set transport.connect_timeout 5.0 # fallback probe timeout (s)
canair config set transport.fallback_order home,vpn,ap # comma-separated
canair config set wican_model pro # or: classic
canair config set check_for_updates false
Values are coerced to int/float/bool/null where unambiguous; pass --string to
force a string (e.g. a zero-padded id). Dotted keys create nested mappings.
Comma-separated values are stored as a list for list-valued keys
(transport.fallback_order).
See `canair config example` (config.example.yaml) for every key documented
with inline comments, and https://philipkocanda.github.io/canair/reference/config/ for the rendered reference.
