How to use the CLI

Steam ROM Manager supports the following options/commands in its command line interface:

--help. Displays the command list and their usage information.
--version. Displays the current SRM version.
list. Displays the names, ids, and enabled statuses of all parsers currently managed by SRM. For example it might output:

srmexample

enable. Command to enable parsers, either by ids or by names:
- enable 16789897872682375 159322320831491591
- enable --names "Brawl Mods" "Slippi (GC, Wii)"
- enable --all
disable. Command to disable parsers, either by ids or by names:
- disable 16789897872682375 159322320831491591
- disable --names "Brawl Mods" "Slippi (GC, Wii)"
- disable --all
add. Runs all enabled parsers and saves apps to steam.
remove. Runs all enabled parsers and removes apps from steam.
nuke. Removes all of SRM changes to your steam library.

Notes and limitations

Make sure Steam is fully exited before using add/remove/nuke. If Steam is running apps will be added/removed, but categories won't.
The portable version of SRM for windows can't output text to the command line because of a limitation in electron-builder. Commands will still run, but no text will be outputted by the CLI, making it much less useful.
