    gid: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' } ]

Ask for help and available options for any command with --help:

What's a Sendak

From Wikipedia:

Maurice Bernard Sendak (/ˈsɛndæk/; June 10, 1928 – May 8, 2012) was an American illustrator and writer of children's books. He became widely known for his book Where the Wild Things Are, first published in 1963. Born to Jewish-Polish parents, his childhood was affected by the death of many of his family members during the Holocaust. Besides Where the Wild Things Are, Sendak also wrote works such as In the Night Kitchen and Outside Over There, and illustrated Little Bear.

The progenitor of this software was called Thing Launcher, which was developed at CFPB.

Sendak, you see, keeps track of the Wild Things for 18F.
