Options:

--clear Remove the directory path

Application Options:

These optionals can be used when setting the --application.

--blocking Enable to prevent the CLI from prematurely processing your record data.

--process-name Used in blocking to find the real process name in the task list.

Example:

 ksm config editor --app Code --blocking --proces-name code.exe
$ ksm config show
 Config Item            Value
 ---------------------- -----------
 Editor                 Code (code.exe)
 Editor Blocking        True

Certain applications do not block the CLI when they launch. These are mainly editors that have a UI. If the application does not block, the CLI will attempt to parse record template before any changes have been made.

On macOS, blocking to wait until the application fully exits. This means the editor is not running at all, not that the editor windows is closed.

On Windows, blocking will monitor the task lists until the process ends. However if the application uses a .bat or .cmd file, it will launch the editor under different name. If this is the case, the --process-name needs to be set. The CLI will monitor that name instead of the name used to launch the editor.
