NAME
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, ...)
