The `influx transpile` command transpiles an InfluxQL query to Flux source code.
The transpiled query assumes the bucket name is `<database>/<retention policy>`
and includes absolute time ranges using the provided `--now` time.

## Usage
```
influx transpile [InfluxQL query] [flags]
```

{{% note %}}
The InfluxQL query must be valid and contain both a database and measurement.
See the [InfluxQL documentation](/influxdb/v1/query_language/) for more information.
