NAME

       kaem - Like running with scissors but shell scripts without a shell

SYNOPSIS

       kaem [--file FILE --strict --verbose --nightmare-mode]

DESCRIPTION

       kaem exists to be the most minimal shell needed in the bootstrap processes; that has the
       ability to function as an init thus allowing the bootstrap to occur with only itself and a
       hex0 assembler as the only binaries running on the system.

       At its core is read a line (except when the line is terminated with a '\', when it is read
       the next line too) and then collect the arguments into an array, lookup the program in the
       path provided by the name or if not found in the ENVIRONMENT and then execute the program
       with the specified options.

       If no filename is passed, it then attempts to execute a file called kaem.run; which is the
       standard name for kaem scripts.  If you wish for kaem to stop when one of the lines throws
       or returns an error code, simply add --strict. If you wish to see what is being executed,
       simply add --verbose. If you hate dealing with an environment and want to eliminate it
       entirely --nightmare-mode.

EXAMPLES

       Typically, kaem will be in running scripts used in bootstrapping
       # kaem --verbose --strict
       # kaem -f bootstrap.sh --nightmare-mode

COMPATIBILITY

       kaem is compatible with all Turing complete machines; even the ones that try to be Turing
       complete -1
