CLI Application

FLAG was previously offered as a commandline application, however this version was retired in early 2011. Old versions of the CLI program are available in the MobileRead forum as a tarball.

Note that the CLI version was written with a Sony PRS-505 in mind, for Linux systems. It requires php5-cli, php5-curl and php5-tidy be installed for it to work properly. A Windows version is also available but may not have all the features of the Linux version.

Instructions for the CLI tool can be found by running "./fflag --help".
