The current ACF cli application is quite rudimentary. The application will accept an action and parameters on the command line and will output the result of the action as a serialized Lua structure. If a parameter is not included, it will not be changed, unless it is a boolean parameter, in which case it will be set to false.

It would be nice to have an interactive cli application that allows users to run actions and prompts the user for input values. The cli application should also allow for one-shot commands to be run from the commandline. It should also respect the viewtype parameter for these actions, so the user can choose how the output should appear.

This commandline application could then be used to replace the Alpine Linux setup- scripts (with some new actions).
