<h2>User interfaces<a class="headerlink" href="#user-interfaces" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>There are numerous user interfaces available for Bazaar.
The core package provides a command line tool called <strong>bzr</strong> and
graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are available as plug-ins.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="using-bzr">
<h2>Using bzr<a class="headerlink" href="#using-bzr" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The syntax is:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>bzr [global-options] command [options and arguments]</pre>
</div>
<p>Global options affect how Bazaar operates and can appear either
before or after <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">command</span></tt>. Command specific options must appear
after the command but may be given either before, during or after any
command-specific arguments.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="common-options">
<h2>Common options<a class="headerlink" href="#common-options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Some options are legal for all commands as shown below.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><table border="1" class="docutils">
<colgroup>
<col width="28%" />
<col width="25%" />
<col width="47%" />
</colgroup>
<thead valign="bottom">
<tr><th class="head">Short form</th>
<th class="head">Long form</th>
<th class="head">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody valign="top">
<tr><td>-h</td>
<td>–help</td>
<td>get help</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>-v</td>
<td>–verbose</td>
<td>be more verbose</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>-q</td>
<td>–quiet</td>
<td>be more quiet</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Quiet mode implies that only errors and warnings are displayed.
This can be useful in scripts.</p>
<p>Note: Most commands typically only support one level of verbosity though
that may change in the future. To ask for a higher level of verbosity,
simply specify the -v option multiple times.</p>
