A command typed into a server console, not a shell: its output goes to a file.

family

val family: String

line

val line: String

The command as typed.

supportsWorks

Functions

pasteWorks

fun pasteWorks(session: String? = null): String

The paste form of the works-side step: the session lives where the first answer was given, so the check runs on the other machine and its output is pasted here.

piped

fun piped(session: String? = null): String

The command with its output fed to drift why --reply; session names the session file when it is not the default one.

pipedWorks

fun pipedWorks(session: String? = null): String

The command with its output fed to the works-side answer of drift why --reply.

sentence

fun sentence(): String

The one plain sentence that asks for it.

sshWorks

fun sshWorks(session: String? = null): String

The works-side step for a machine that can be reached by ssh.

toJson

fun toJson(session: String? = null, works: Boolean = false): JsonObject

works adds pipedWorks for a check that can also be run where the program works.
