       Unknown - manual page for Unknown argument: --version

DESCRIPTION

       Usage: scilab <arguments> scilab-cli <arguments> scilab-adv-cli <arguments>

              Possible  arguments  are:  -display Display: for use under Xwindow systems to set a
              specific X server display.  -d Display      : equivalent to -display  Display.   -e
              Instruction  : execute the scilab instruction given in Instruction argument.

              -e and -f arguments are mutually exclusive.

       -f File
              :  execute  the  scilab  script  given  in  File argument.  -e and -f arguments are
              mutually exclusive.

       -l Lang
              : set the current language. Lang can be equal to fr or en.

       -mem N : set the initial stacksize, for use with -ns argument.

       -nb    : do not display Scilab loading on start.

       -ns    : do not execute  scilab.start  startup  file.  This  argument  will  disable  many
              features in Scilab (Only use if you know what you are doing).

       -nouserstartup
              : do not execute the user startup files SCIHOME/.scilab or SCIHOME/scilab.ini.

       -noatomsautoload: do not load ATOMS installed module.

       -nw    : start Scilab without dedicated Scilab Window.

       -nwni  :  start  Scilab  without  the  GUI,  graphic  and help features (batch mode). This
              argument disables the need of Java.

       -nogui : See -nwni

       -nocolor
              : Remove the color in the cli and adv-cli modes

       -args  : accept all extra arguments and make them available through sciargs

       -version
              : print product version and exit.

       -h/--help
              : display help about this command.

       --texmacs
              : reserved for TeXMacs.

   Developer arguments:
       -debug : Start Scilab under gdb (Unix/linux only).  define the variable SCILAB_GDB_OPT  to
              add custom arguments to gdb.

       -debug-kdbg
              : Start Scilab under kdbg (Unix/linux only).

       -profiling
              :   Start   Scilab   under   valgrind   (Unix/linux  only).   define  the  variable
              SCILAB_VALGRIND_OPT to add custom arguments to valgrind (and override the  existing
              valgrind arguments).

       -profiling-visu : Start Scilab under callgrind (Unix/linux only).
              define  the  variable SCILAB_VALGRIND_OPT to add custom arguments to callgrind (and
              override the existing callgrind arguments).

       -disable-exception-catching : Disable Scilab exception catching system.

              All these arguments can be retrieved by the Scilab function sciargs.

              Several environment variables can be  declared:  SCIVERBOSE                Provides
              debugging  information  of the startup JAVA_HOME                Declares which Java
              Virtual Machine to use SCI_DISABLE_TK           Disable Tk (but not  Tcl)  features
              SCI_JAVA_ENABLE_HEADLESS   Enable  Java  Headless  VM  (ie  without  GUI  features)
              SCI_DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING Disable the catch by Scilab of exception  (segfault,
              ...)
