NAME
xonsh - Pythonish, BASHwards looking shell
DESCRIPTION
Xonsh is a Python-ish shell language and command prompt. Unlike other shells, xonsh is based on Python, with additional syntax added that makes calling subprocess commands, manipulating the environment, and dealing with the file system easy. Xonsh supports all normal Python constructs and a subset of those available in bash. usage: xonsh [-h] [-V] [-c COMMAND] [-i] [-l] [--rc RC [RC ...]] [--no-rc] [--no-script-cache] [--cache-everything] [-D ITEM] [--shell-type SHELL_TYPE] [--timings] [script-file] ... xonsh positional arguments: script-file If present, execute the script in script-file and exit. args Additional arguments to the script specified by script-file. options: -h, --help Show help and exit. -V, --version Show version information and exit. -c COMMAND Run a single command and exit. -i, --interactive Force running in interactive mode. -l, --login Run as a login shell. --rc RC [RC ...] The xonshrc files to load, these may be either xonsh files or directories containing xonsh files --no-rc Do not load any xonsh RC files. --no-script-cache Do not cache scripts as they are run. --cache-everything Use a cache, even for interactive commands. -D ITEM Define an environment variable, in the form of -DNAME=VAL. May be used many times. --shell-type SHELL_TYPE What kind of shell should be used. Possible options: b, best, d, dumb, ptk, prompt-toolkit, prompt_toolkit, rand, random, rl, readline. Warning! If set this overrides $SHELL_TYPE variable. --timings Prints timing information before the prompt is shown. This is useful while tracking down performance issues and investigating startup times.
