# Swift Snapshot Tool
Used to list and bisect nightly snapshots off of swift.org.
# Examples
## List snapshots

The number to the left is just the number back through historical time that the
value is at. This allows for one to get a sense of the range of time in between
two bisect numbers since one can look at the range in between them and how time
varies.
## Bisect
```
xcrun swift run swift_snapshot_tool bisect --script $SCRIPT_NAME --workspace $DIR_TO_DOWNLOAD_TOOLCHAINS \
--good-tag $OLDER_TAG_NAME_THAT_PASSES --bad-tag $NEWER_TAG_NAME_THAT_FAILS
```
bisect success is defined by `$SCRIPT_NAME` returning 0 as an exit code. All
other exit codes are considered a failure.
Options:
- workspace: This is the place where we will download toolchains to. Defaults to
`/tmp/swift_snapshot_tool_workspace_v1`
- script: This is the script that should be run. We pass in the environment
variables `SWIFT_EXEC` and `SWIFT_FRONTEND` to the subscript. If the script
returns a zero exit code then the run is considered a succeess. If the script
returns a non-zero exit code, then the run is considered a failure.
- good_tag: This is the older tag and is assumed to succeed by returning a zero
exit code.
- bad_tag: This is the newer tag and is assumed to fail by returning a non-zero
exit code.
- invert: This causes test.sh's result to be inverted. This allows one to bisect
backwards from a good state to a bad state. This is useful to determine when
an error was fixed.
- branch: This controls the specific branch of snapshots that are downloaded. By
default uses development. Also supports the options 5.0 and 6.0.
