Engine commands

hci commands directly control the engine or the GUIs. These commands access the engine without GUIs and can:

  • Start the GUIs outside the IDE.
  • Modify the engine’s actions.
  • Show and modify file contents.
  • Customize user notifications, such as alerts and views.

A thorough understanding of the commands and their functions is required. Throughout the section, command input is noted with all options, although not all listed options are necessary in each command.
