WP_CLI::run_command()

Run a given command within the current process using the same global parameters.

---

Usage

WP_CLI::run_command( $args, $assoc_args = [] )

$args (array) Positional arguments including command name.
$assoc_args (array)

---

Notes

Use WP_CLI::runcommand() instead, which is easier to use and works better.

To run a command using a new process with the same global parameters, use WP_CLI::launch_self(). To run a command using a new process with different global parameters, use WP_CLI::launch().

ob_start();
WP_CLI::run_command( array( 'cli', 'cmd-dump' ) );
$ret = ob_get_clean();
