-----------------------------------------
Summary: riot --to-file parameter
Key: JENA-1032
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1032
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: RIOT
Affects Versions: Jena 3.0.0
Reporter: Stian Soiland-Reyes
Priority: Minor
The {{riot}} command line does not have an option to specify the output file to
write to, forcing users to use shell redirections, e.g.
{code}
riot file.ttl > file.nt
{code}
This comes up as an issue for the Docker image
https://hub.docker.com/r/stain/jena/ - as you can't (easily) do {{> file.txt}}
as arguments to docker run to do redirections within the Docker container.
Lacking an output file parameter also makes it harder to call riot from other
programming languages, e.g. called from a Python script.
The problem is that the {{--output}} parameter (and --out) is already used to
specify the output FORMAT rather than the output FILE. Perhaps --to-file ?
Suggested use:
{code}
riot --output jsonld --to-file /tmp/output.jsonld /tmp/input.ttl
{code}
