DESCRIPTION

Usage: scilab <arguments> scilab-cli <arguments> scilab-adv-cli <arguments>

Possible arguments are: -display Display: for use under Xwindow systems to set a specific X server display. -d Display : equivalent to -display Display. -e Instruction : execute the scilab instruction given in Instruction argument.

-e and -f arguments are mutually exclusive.

-f File

: execute the scilab script given in File argument. -e and -f arguments are mutually exclusive.

-l Lang

: set the current language. Lang can be equal to fr or en.

-mem N

: set the initial stacksize, for use with -ns argument.

-nb

: do not display Scilab loading on start.

-ns

: do not execute scilab.start startup file. This argument will disable many features in Scilab (Only use if you know what you are doing).

-nouserstartup

: do not execute the user startup files SCIHOME/.scilab or SCIHOME/scilab.ini.

-noatomsautoload: do not load ATOMS installed module.

-nw

: start Scilab without dedicated Scilab Window.

-nwni

: start Scilab without the GUI, graphic and help features (batch mode). This argument disables the need of Java.

-nogui

: See -nwni

-nocolor

: Remove the color in the cli and adv-cli modes

-args

: accept all extra arguments and make them available through sciargs

-version

: print product version and exit.

-h/--help

: display help about this command.

--texmacs

: reserved for TeXMacs.

Developer arguments:

-debug

: Start Scilab under gdb (Unix/linux only).

define the variable SCILAB_GDB_OPT to add custom arguments to gdb.

-debug-kdbg

: Start Scilab under kdbg (Unix/linux only).

-profiling

: Start Scilab under valgrind (Unix/linux only). define the variable SCILAB_VALGRIND_OPT to add custom arguments to valgrind (and override the existing valgrind arguments).

-profiling-visu : Start Scilab under callgrind (Unix/linux only).

define the variable SCILAB_VALGRIND_OPT to add custom arguments to callgrind (and override the existing callgrind arguments).

-disable-exception-catching : Disable Scilab exception catching system.

All these arguments can be retrieved by the Scilab function sciargs.

Several environment variables can be declared: SCIVERBOSE Provides debugging information of the startup JAVA_HOME Declares which Java Virtual Machine to use SCI_DISABLE_TK Disable Tk (but not Tcl) features SCI_JAVA_ENABLE_HEADLESS Enable Java Headless VM (ie without GUI features) SCI_DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING Disable the catch by Scilab of exception (segfault, ...)
