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");
