# CLI reference
Use this section to find the right command quickly, then open the command page
for the full option list.
## Command map
| Command | Use it for | Required positional args |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `batdetect2 process` | Run inference on audio | Depends on subcommand (`directory`, `file_list`, `dataset`) |
| `batdetect2 data` | Inspect and convert dataset configs | Depends on subcommand (`summary`, `convert`) |
| `batdetect2 train` | Train or fine-tune models | `TRAIN_DATASET` |
| `batdetect2 finetune` | Fine-tune a checkpoint on new targets | `TRAIN_DATASET` plus `--targets` |
| `batdetect2 evaluate` | Evaluate a checkpoint on a test dataset | `TEST_DATASET` |
| `batdetect2 detect` | Legacy compatibility workflow | `AUDIO_DIR`, `ANN_DIR`, `DETECTION_THRESHOLD` |
## Notes
- Global CLI options are documented in {doc}`base`.
- Paths with spaces should be wrapped in quotes.
- Input audio is expected to be mono.
- `process` uses the optional `--detection-threshold` override.
- `evaluate` takes `TEST_DATASET` as a positional argument and uses `--model`
for the checkpoint override.
- `finetune` defaults to the bundled `uk_same` checkpoint if `--model` is not
provided.
```{warning}
`batdetect2 detect` is a legacy command.
Prefer `batdetect2 process directory` for new workflows.
```
