CLI

Usage

Usage: is-absolute-uri [options] [<uri>]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.

Examples

$ is-absolute-uri https://google.com
true

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n 'https://google.com' | is-absolute-uri
true

By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split option.

$ echo -n 'https://google.com\tbeep' | is-absolute-uri --split '\t'
true
false
