Käskykantasuunnittelu

Käskykantasuunnittelu, often translated as command-line planning or command-line design, refers to the process of designing and developing software or systems that are primarily or exclusively operated through a command-line interface (CLI). This approach prioritizes functionality, efficiency, and scriptability over graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In käskykantasuunnittelu, the focus is on creating tools and applications that can be invoked with specific commands and arguments, allowing for precise control and automation.

Key characteristics of käskykantasuunnittelu include the use of plain text for input and output, the ability to chain commands together using shell scripting, and a strong emphasis on modularity and composability. Developers following this paradigm often aim for tools that are lightweight, resource-efficient, and easily integrated into larger workflows. This design philosophy is prevalent in areas such as system administration, data processing, software development pipelines, and scientific computing, where automation and batch processing are crucial. The design often involves careful consideration of command syntax, argument parsing, error handling, and the generation of informative output that can be easily parsed by other programs.
