CLI Reference

The KoLmafia Graphical CLI is one of the most helpful features Mafia has. This page is intended to provide information on the commands available.

How to use these commands

Square brackets [ ] enclose optional elements of commands. In command descriptions, they may also enclose the effects of using those optional elements.

Vertical bars | separate alternative elements - choose any one. (But note that || is an actual part of a few commands.)

An ellipsis ... after an element means that it can be repeated as many times as needed.

Elements in italics are placeholders - replace them with an actual name you want the command to operate on.

Commands with an asterisk * after the name are abbreviations - you can type them in a longer form if desired.

Some command names can be followed by a question mark (shown as [?] ), in which case the command will just display what it would do, rather than actually doing it.

When adventuring, or using an item or skill, the name can be preceded by a number specifying how many times to do it. An asterisk in place of this number means "as many as possible" or "the current quantity in inventory", depending on context. Negative numbers mean to do that many less than the maximum.

Usually, multiple commands can be given on the same line, separated by semicolons. The exceptions (alias, ash, ashq, cheapest, expensive, fecho, fprint, get, set, speculate, whatif, later) treat the entire remainder of the line as a parameter.

A few commands (elseif, else, if, try, while) treat at least one following command as a block that is executed conditionally or repetitively. The block consists of the remainder of the line, or the entire next line if that's empty. The block is extended by additional lines if it would otherwise end with one of these special commands.
