Usage

General usage (mal.exe) mal -a/-m ...

• default first flag is -a for anime, specify -m instead for manga
• mal -h - show the help menu
• mal (-a/-m) random -u hone_the_rat -l plan_to_watch - select a random anime/manga from hone_the_rat's plan to watch list
• mal (-a/-m) search -q "tokyo ghoul" - search for anime/manga with the keywords "tokyo ghoul"
• mal login - authorize the application via MAL to gain extra commands. ideally only needed once but potentially needed to reauthorize if oauth refresh token expires. specifying -a/-m does nothing different
• mal suggest -l 50 - requires login. suggest up to 100 anime (MAL seems to return the same list always, not a CLI issue). ONLY FOR ANIME
• mal refresh - requires login. manually refresh your oauth tokens. Refreshing should also manually happen anytime MAL returns a 401 for a call using oauth. specifying -a/-m does nothing different
