Usage

By default, anybar_rs assumes that Anybar is bound to localhost on UDP port 1738. Call it like so:
anybar_rs [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS:
-p, --port Set destination UDP port. Input must be 0 – 6553, and defaults to 1738

ARGS:
COMMAND The command you wish to send to Anybar

Where COMMAND is one of the following:

• white
• red
• orange
• yellow
• green
• cyan
• blue
• purple
• black
• question
• exclamation
• quit

Exit codes

Being a stateless protocol, UDP provides no mechanism for checking whether its datagrams arrive.

• If the UDP datagram is succesfully sent, anybar_rs will exit with code 0.
• Unknown flags, options, or an unknown command will print the usage and exit with code 1.
