Plaid Operation
Once built into a binary, Plaid is executed from the command line and has two required parameters: a path to a json formatted schema file (which describes the config), and the path to a config file, like this:
./plaidven <path/to/schema.json> <path/to/config.json>
Additional command line options
The binary also offers the options to print the current version number and create sample plugin messages for reference.
Version
Export the version
$ ./plaidven --version
[Date] [plaid] [info] [main] plaid version '2.3.0'
Sample plugin messages
To create sample plugin messages in json files, use the --sample flag, followed by the path to the directory you would like. If the directory path is not included, the files will be exported to the current directory.
$ ./plaidven --sample sample/message/directory
[Date] [plaid] [info] [main] Exporting samples to sample/message/directory
