CLI for [linear-converter](https://github.com/javiercejudo/linear-converter)

## Install

    npm i -g linear-converter-cli

## Usage

    $ linear-converter 25 --from metres --to yards

    27.34033245844269466325

    $ lco 25 -f m -t yd

    27.34033245844269466325

The program will try to infer the `--property` (`-p`) option if not present,

but it must be declared in cases with ambiguity.

    $ linear-converter 25 -f °C -t °F

    Ambiguous units: temperature, temperatureDifference.

    $ linear-converter 25 -p temperature -f °C -t °F

    77

    $ linear-converter 25 -p temperatureDifference -f °C -t °F

    45

Negative values can be declared using the `--negative` (`-n`) flag, or piped in.

    $ linear-converter -n 76 -p temperature --from fahrenheit --to celsius

    -60

    $ echo -76 | linear-converter -p temperature --from fahrenheit --to celsius

    -60

A final example to overcome the lack of some units (yards to hectometres):

    $ lco 34500 -f yards -t metres | lco -f none -t hecto

    315.468

## Help

    Usage: linear-converter  [options]

    Options:

      -h, --help                   output usage information

      -V, --version                output the version number

      -n, --negative               treat  as negative

      -p, --property [property]    property to convert

      -f, --from [unit]            unit to convert from (required)

      -t, --to [unit]              unit to convert to (required)

      -d, --precision [precision]  precision, amount of decimal places to work with

      -v, --verbose                show detailed output

    Examples

      $ linear-converter 25 --from metres --to yards

      $ lco -n 100 -p temperature -f fahrenheit -t celsius

      $ lco 34500 -f yards -t metres | lco -f none -t hecto
