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");
