The "sqlar" command:

Usage: fossil sqlar VERSION OUTPUTFILE [OPTIONS]

Generate an SQLAR archive for a check-in. If the --name option is used, its argument becomes the name of the top-level directory in the resulting SQLAR archive. If --name is omitted, the top-level directory name is derived from the project name, the check-in date and time, and the artifact ID of the check-in.

The GLOBLIST argument to --exclude and --include can be a comma-separated list of glob patterns, where each glob pattern may optionally be enclosed in "..." or '...' so that it may contain commas. If a file matches both --include and --exclude then it is excluded.

If OUTPUTFILE is an empty string or "/dev/null" then no SQLAR archive is actually generated. This feature can be used in combination with the --list option to get a list of the filenames that would be in the SQLAR archive had it actually been generated.

Options:

-X|--exclude GLOBLIST
Comma-separated list of GLOBs of files to exclude
--include GLOBLIST
Comma-separated list of GLOBs of files to include
-l|--list
Show archive content on stdout
--name DIRECTORYNAME
The name of the top-level directory in the archive
-R REPOSITORY
Specify a Fossil repository
