CLI

Usage

Usage: capitalize [options] [<string>]

Options:

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

Notes

If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the split option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

# Not escaped...
$ echo -n $'beep\nboop' | capitalize --split /\r?\n/

# Escaped...
$ echo -n $'beep\nboop' | capitalize --split /\\r?\\n/

The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

Examples

$ capitalize beep
Beep

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n 'beEp' | capitalize
BeEp

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 'beep\tbOOP' | capitalize --split '\t'
Beep
BOOP
