Command Line Interface (CLI) Usage

PicoLimbo offers a flexible command line interface for running and configuring the server in standalone mode. This page covers all available CLI options and their usage.

Basic Usage

To start the server with default settings:

pico_limbo

Configuration Options

Custom Configuration File

Specify a custom configuration file path:

pico_limbo --config /path/to/your/config.toml

Data Directory

Set the directory containing packet maps and game registries:

pico_limbo --data-dir /path/to/your/assets

By default, PicoLimbo looks for assets in the ./assets directory relative to where the binary is executed. This option allows you to specify a different location for these essential files.

If you are running PicoLimbo from the Git repository, you have to specify where are the assets located. The assets are located in the data/generated directory relative to the repository's root. See installation with Git for more information.

Logging Options

Control the verbosity of server logs:

# Detailed debug logging
pico_limbo -v

# Trace-level logging (most verbose)
pico_limbo -vv

Advanced Options
