CLI Reference

Exact syntax reference for live AuditWalk CLI commands. Implemented-only surface. Canonical forms appear first; aliases are subordinate compatibility paths.

  • Implemented commands only.
  • Planned/reserved terms are excluded from this page.
  • watch config is nested and requires <action:show|set>.
  • Canonical baseline action: auditwalk baseline set --scan-id <scan_id>; baseline confirm is an alias.
