tt connect

[unera]

SYNOPSIS

tt connect [url|instance_name]

DESCRIPTION

Connect to remote tarantool or tarantool instance (for local).

If there is only one local instance is present, You can use tt connect without additional arguments.

OPTIONS

• -x lua|sql - request format
• -I - non interactive mode (example: echo _G| tt connect -I)
• -i file - pass the file (in non-interactive mode. See tarantoolctl eval)

[LeonidVas]

AFAIU after a conversation with @unera , as a result of this task, we want to create a module that will accumulate the functionality of tarantoolctl connect, tarantoolctl enter and tarantoolctl eval.
For example:
tarantoolctl connect URI correspond tt connect URI
tarantoolctl enter INSTANCE correspond tt connect INSTANCE
tarantoolctl eval INSTANCE FILE correspond tt connect INSTANCE -e FILE

And one more thing - maybe a better name for the module is console or something else.

-I is optional in case of STDIN redirection.
In that case isatty for stdin would be false and there will be no need in -I

[unera]

Yes, the module should check isatty, but the module should have -I, too.

For example git log checks isatty, but from time to time the mechanism is inconvenient. From time to time I use git log -n 1|cat to disable pager.

Also, I don't like the mix of upper and lowercase options with different meanings.
It's a common cause for getopt with upper/lower case to have opposite meanings, like:
-i - interactive, -I - non-interactive
It's better to find different letters and use only lowercase, if possible
