RFC Digest

Quickly viewing the state of an RFC is easy. The command will pick up all details, change logs if provided and all voting tables.

Usage

You will need to pass the RFC code to the command to identify the one to digest. You can get this code using rfc:list or if you know the URL/Name it's the last part of the URL which is generally the name in lowercase with underscores replacing spaces.

Usage:
 rfc:digest [--details] [--changelog] [--votes] [-d|--detailed] rfc

Arguments:
 rfc                   RFC Code e.g. scalar_type_hints

You can specify which sections of the RFC to show, so if you are only interested in the votes just pass --votes.

Also to show each vote pass in -d which will make the output detailed for votes.

Example Output

$ bin/php-rfc-digestor rfc:digest scalar_type_hints
