- --debug-without=feature
- Hide feature from the resolver (debug).
- --dumpversion
- Print the Pike version number to stderr, e.g. "7.8.10\n"
- --features
- List some of the features that are enabled in this Pike binary and exit (debug).
- --info
- Show various information about this Pike installation and exit (debug).
- --optimizer-debug
- Set the global optimizer debug level (debug).
- --show-paths
- Show the paths pike will use and exit (debug).
- --trace
- Increase the trace level (debug).
- --trace=num
- Set the trace level to num (debug).
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:- script
- A path to a script written in Pike to be compiled and then executed. Everything on the commandline after the script is passed as arguments to the script.
If no script is specified, pike will start in interactive- (Hilfe) mode.
REGISTRY KEYS
On NT, Pike is affected by the following keys in the registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pike\.\PIKE_MASTER HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Pike\.\PIKE_MASTER
- Specifies the name of the master program (overridden by -mmaster_program ).
ENVIRONMENT
Pike is affected by the following environment variables:- PIKE_MASTER
- Specifies the name of the master program (overridden by -mmaster_program ).
Depending on operating system Pike may be affected by the following environment variables:
- LC_ALL
- Overrides the other LC_* variables.
- LC_COLLATE
- Specifies the character collation sequence.
- LC_CTYPE
- Specifies the character classification.
- LC_MESSAGES
- Specifies the language of the system messagedatabase.
- LC_NUMERIC
- Specifies the decimal and thousand delimiters.
- LC_TIME
- Specifies the date and time formats.
The default master program is affected by the following environment variables:
- PIKE_INCLUDE_PATH
- List of directories separated with colon (:), to search for include-files.
- PIKE_PROGRAM_PATH
- List of directories separated with colon (:), to search for program-files.
- PIKE_MODULE_PATH
- List of directories separated with colon (:), to search for modules.
- LONG_PIKE_ERRORS
- If set disables truncation of paths in backtraces.
- SHORT_PIKE_ERRORS
- If set and LONG_PIKE_ERRORS is not set, truncates paths to just the filename in backtraces.
- PIKE_BACKTRACE_LEN
- The maximum number of elements in arrays to describe in backtraces.
Note that the above environment variables have effect before the default master program attempts to load the Getopt(3P) module, which occurrs before the master program arguments are parsed.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:- 0
- Successfull completion.
- >0
- An error occurred. See output on stderr (fd #2) for reason.
