command line tool for zendframework

## NAME

zf - command line tool for zendframework

## SYNOPSIS

**zf** \[--global-opts\] **action-name** \[--action-opts\] **provider-name** \[--provider-opts\] \[provider parameters ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

zf is a command line tool to create and manage zendframework projects.

The CLI, or command line tool (internally known as the console tool), is currently the primary interface for dispatching Zend\_Tool  requests. With the CLI tool, developers can issue tooling requests inside the "command line window", also commonly known as a "terminal" window.

  This will show the current version number of the copy of Zend Framework the zf.php tool is using.
