3.5 The 'cheetah' command

Cheetah comes with a utility cheetah that provides a command-line interface to various housekeeping tasks. The command's first argument is the name of the task. The following commands are currently supported:

cheetah compile [options] [FILES ...]     : Compile template definitions
cheetah fill [options] [FILES ...]        : Fill template definitions
cheetah help                              : Print this help message
cheetah options                           : Print options help message
cheetah test                              : Run Cheetah's regression tests
cheetah version                           : Print Cheetah version number

You only have to type the first letter of the command: cheetah c is the same as cheetah compile.

The test suite is described in the next section. The compile command will be described in section 4.2, and the fill command in section 4.3.

The depreciated cheetah-compile program does the same thing as cheetah compile.
