There are two CUI: makefml and fml. The syntax of the two is different.
makefml COMMAND ML OPTIONS fml ML COMMAND OPTIONSThe only difference is the order of command argument.
fml4 command shows processing information as could as possible. Instead fml8 command runs as could as silently since it is proper for automatic process. [1] This behaviour is UNIX style.
Table 1. Difference between fml4 and fml8: CUI
| Content | fml4 | fml8 |
|---|---|---|
| show help | "makefml help ML". "makefml info ML" is same as "makefml help ML". If the environment variable PAGER, use it as pager. | not implemented. |
