Kipper CLI API
The Kipper CLI API describes the functionality of the Kipper CLI, which is provided by the
@kipper/cli package. This is besides the
Kipper Module API the only way to interact with the Kipper
compiler.
Unlike the programmatic API, the CLI can be interacted with using the command line. This is done by
calling commands and passing flags (arguments) to the kipper command, which is per
default available in your package or globally when the @kipper/cli package is
installed.
