NAME

slsh — interperter for S-Lang scripts

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");
