i.e., to print the general help, invoke `cargo run --relase -- -h`, or,\nfor a subcommand, e.g. `cargo run --relase -- me clean -h`.\n\nThis tool uses the [`clap` command line argument parser in _derive_ mode](https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/_derive/index.html).\nTo familiarize yourself with Rust and common approaches to CLI tools, take a\nlook at the [Rust CLI book](https://rust-cli.github.io/book/index.html).\n\nFor more understanding, see also any of these additional resources:\n\n- \u003chttps://rust-cli-recommendations.sunshowers.io/handling-arguments.html\u003e\n- \u003chttps://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust\u003e\n- \u003chttps://tucson-josh.com/posts/rust-clap-cli/\u003e\n- \u003chttps://www.rustadventure.dev/introducing-clap/clap-v4/parsing-arguments-with-clap\u003e\n\n## Milestones\n\n- [x] bootstrap a new, general CLI, `intel_fw`, with an `me` subcommand\n    - mimic the `me_cleaner` CLI, using similar+same arguments and switches for\n      compatibility\n- [ ] port the logic to Rust, using `me_cleaner`-edited images as test fixtures\n    - NOTE: committing the test fixtures would be big and a potential license\n      issue; instead, add notes on how to reproduce them, via public vendor\n      images and extraction utilities (e.g. from Lenovo)\n    - [x] step 1: port core logic to produce the same output as `me_cleaner` for\n        Lenovo ThinkPad X230 + X270\n    - [ ] step 2: full parity with `me_cleaner`\n- [ ] expand the documentation with a higher-level on Intel platform boot flows\n    - [ ] document how the Intel data structures work, in prose\n    - [ ] document how to add support for more platforms and variants\n- [ ] work out a reusable library, i.e., a Rust crate for \u003chttps://crates.io/\u003e\n- [ ] sync up; \u003chttps://github.com/corna/me_cleaner\u003e has another patch that\n      coreboot is missing, doing rework and adding ME Gen 1 support\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fplatform-system-interface%2Fintel_fw","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fplatform-system-interface%2Fintel_fw","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fplatform-system-interface%2Fintel_fw/lists"}
