SYNOPSIS
slsh [-i init-file] [-g] [-n] [-v] [--help] [--version] [-|file args]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the slsh command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
slsh is an interpreter for scripts written in the S-Lang language.
OPTIONS
- --help
- Show summary of options
- --version
- Show slsh version information
- -g
- Compile with debugging code, tracebacks, etc
- -n
- Don't load personal init file
- -i init-file
- Use this file instead of default
- -v
- Show verbose loading messages
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Upon startup, the program will try to load slsh.rc as follows:
If either SLSH_CONF_DIR or SLSH_LIB_DIR environment variables exist, then look in the corresponding directories for slsh.rc. Otherwise look in:
- $(prefix)/etc (specified in Makefile)
- /usr/local/etc/
- /usr/local/etc/slsh/
- /etc/
-
/etc/slsh/
The slsh.rc file may load other files from slsh's library directory in the manner described below.
Once slsh.rc is loaded, slsh will load $HOME/.slshrc if present. Finally, it will load the script specified on the command line. If the name of the script is ``-'', then it will be read from stdin.
When a script loads a file via the built-in ``evalfile'' function or the ``require'' function (autoloaded by slsh.rc), the file is searched for along the SLSH_PATH as specified in the Makefile. An alternate path may be specified by the SLSH_PATH environment variable.
The search path may be queried and set during run time via set the get_lib_path and set_lib_path functions, e.g.,
set_lib_path ("/home/bill/lib/slsh:/usr/share/slsh");
