SYNOPSIS

       xotclsh ?fileName?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       xotclsh ?fileName?
              xotclsh  is  a  shell-like  application that reads XOTcl2 and Tcl commands from its
              standard input or from fileName and evaluates them.  If invoked  without  fileName,
              then  it  runs  in  REPL  mode,  reading  commands from standard input and printing
              command results and error messages to standard output.   It  runs  until  the  exit
              command is invoked or until it reaches end-of-file on its standard input.

              xotclsh  can  be used like tclsh to make XOTcl2 scripts directly invocable from the
              shell, by providing the following first line ("shebang") in the respective script:

                #! /usr/bin/env xotclsh

              A (more portable) alternative is:

                #! /bin/sh
                # the next line restarts using xotclsh \
                    exec xotclsh "$0" "$@"
