TUBE SELECTION

The argument passed to --tube may be a tube name or a tube pattern if prefixed with ~. Patterns are applied to the list of tubes that currently exist on the server

Matching tubes are removed from the list if the argument is prefixed with !

--tube parameters are processed in order. If the first --tube parameter starts with ! then the initial list of tubes to check is all the tubes that currently exist on the server. If the first --tube parameter does not start with ! then the initial list is empty.

If no --tube parameters are given then all existing tubes are checked

Examples

--tube foo

Only check tube foo

--tube !foo

Check all tubes except the tube foo

--tube ~foo

Check all tubes that match the pattern /foo/

--tube !~foo

Check all tubes except those that match the pattern /foo/

--tube ~foo --tube !foobar

Check all tubes that match the pattern /foo/, except foobar

--tube !~foo --tube foobar

Check all tubes except those that match the pattern /foo/, but also check foobar
