vulkro glossary

Explain the words Vulkro uses. vulkro glossary prints plain-language definitions of the terms that show up in a finding, a report or a console tab: call graph, untrusted data flow (taint), sink, proof tiers, SBOM and more.

Pass a word to show one entry, or pass nothing to list every term. This is static text: it never scans, never touches the network, and needs no license.

This is a different thing from the Glossary concept page: the concept page is the same reference rendered on the website, and this command prints the same definitions at your terminal so you never have to leave it.

Usage​

vulkro glossary [TERM]
# List every term.
vulkro glossary

# Look up one word.
vulkro glossary sink
vulkro glossary "proof tier"

An unknown term is not an error: Vulkro prints the closest matching terms instead.

Arguments​

ArgumentDescriptionDefault
TERMA term to look up, for example call-graph, taint or proof tier. Omit it to list every term.list all

Flags​

FlagDescriptionDefault
--offlineHard-disable every outbound network call for this run (sets VULKRO_OFFLINE=1). This command already stays local, so the flag is a no-op here and is accepted only for consistency with the other subcommands.false
--help, -hPrint help.

Exit codes​

  • 0 always. The command prints definitions and returns success. An unknown term still exits 0 after printing the closest matches.
  • Vulkro reserves 2 for a bad argument or an internal failure, in line with the CLI-wide contract, but a normal glossary run does not scan and does not reach it.

Command reference​

Generated from vulkro help glossary on vulkro 0.26.0. This block is the authoritative flag, usage, and exit-code reference for this command; the prose above is the friendly explanation. Do not edit this block by hand; run npm run docs:cli after a release.

Explain the words Vulkro uses: call graph, untrusted data flow, sink, proof tiers, SBOM and more.

Prints plain-language definitions. Pass a word to show one entry (`vulkro glossary sink`), or nothing to list them all. Static text: never scans, never touches the network, needs no license.

Exit code: 0 always (an unknown term prints the closest matches).

Usage: vulkro glossary [OPTIONS] [TERM]

Arguments:
  [TERM]
          A term to look up, e.g. `call-graph`, `taint` or `proof tier`. Omit to list every term

Options:
      --offline
          Hard-disable every outbound network call for this run (sets VULKRO_OFFLINE=1). Blocks the CVE feed, the license heartbeat, the update check, webhooks, and any cloud AI endpoint; a loopback model (http://127.0.0.1, http://localhost) is still allowed. Equivalent to exporting VULKRO_OFFLINE=1, and the flag wins when both are set

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')
