NAME

       drush - shell scripting interface for Drupal

SYNOPSIS

       drush [options] command...

DESCRIPTION

       drush  is a veritable Swiss Army knife designed to make life easier for those of us who spend some of our working hours hacking away at the
       command prompt.

       Drush core ships with lots of useful commands for interacting with code like modules/themes/profiles. Similarly, it runs  update.php,  exe-
       cutes sql queries and DB migrations, and misc utilities like run cron or clear cache.

OPTIONS

       -r path, --root=path
	      Drupal root directory to use (default: current directory)

       -l uri, --uri=uri
	      URI of the drupal site to use (only needed in multisite environments)

       -v, --verbose
	      Display extra information about the command.

       -q, --quiet
	      Hide all output

       -d, --debug
	      Display even more information, including internal messages.

       -y, --yes
	      Assume 'yes' as answer to all prompts

       -s, --simulate
	      Simulate all relevant actions (don't actually change the system)

       -p, --pipe
	      Emit a compact representation of the command for scripting.

       -h, --help
	      A detailed help system, use drush help help for complete help.

       --version
	      Show drush version.

       If you get tired of typing options all the time, you can add them to your drush.php alias or create a drushrc.php file. These provide addi-
       tional options for your drush call. They provide great flexibility for a multi-site installation, for example. See example.drushrc.php.

COMMANDS

       This manual only lists a few of the most frequently used builtin commands shipped with the Drush  core,	since  other  Drupal  modules  and
       third-party  "command  files"  may extend this list significantly. The canonical source of information for the available commands and their
       usage is the online help system.

       More information on each command is also available through drush help <command>. Most commands have shortcuts indicated in parenthesis.

AUTHOR

       Drush was originally developed by Arto for Drupal 4.7 (this alpha code can still be found in the DRUPAL-4-7 branch). In May  2007,  it  was
       partly  rewritten  and  redesigned  for	Drupal	5 by frando. Since 2008, the module has been maintained by Moshe Weitzman, Owen Barton and
       Adrian Rossouw.

       This manual page was written by Antoine Beaupre <anarcat@debian.org> in June 2009 for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
