jq previously only allowed passing the inline script before -- (as if they were options) even though one would expect the inline script to be a positional argument. Since jq previously also refused to run with a usage error if the script was passed after -- (It was not assuming . as script as it does when no arguments are passed), and positional arguments are allowed before -- and even before other options, it should not be a breaking change to change that weird behaviour, and allow the script to appear after --. It also simplifies the option parsing code a bunch. Fixes #2918
Documentation
The jq website, manpages and some of the tests are generated from this
directory. The manual is a YAML file in content/manual.
To build the documentation (including building the jq manpage), you'll
need python3 and pipenv. You can install pipenv like so:
pip install pipenv
Though, you may need to say pip3 instead, depending on your system. Once
you have pipenv installed, you can install the dependencies by running
pipenv sync from the docs/ directory.
Also, you may need to run virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv/ and
then source venv/bin/activate, and only then pipenv sync.
Once this is done, rerun ./configure in the jq root directory and then
the Makefile will be able to generate the jq manpage. You can just run
make jq.1 to build the manpage manually, and make tests/man.test to
update the manual tests.
To build the website, run pipenv run python3 build_website.py --root /output
in the docs/ directory. To serve them locally, you can run
python3 -m http.server.
