## NAME

cmixshow - browser for C-Mix/II feedback output

## SYNOPSIS

**cmixshow** \[**-b**\|**-u**\|**-l**\|**-r**\|**-w**\|**-s**\] *filename.ann*

## DESCRIPTION

**cmixshow** can display the binding-time annotated programs output by [**cmix**(1)](/cmix/1.md) for user feedback in various formats, as selected by the options.

## OPTIONS

- **-b**

  Display residual parts of the program in bold

- **-u**

  Display residual parts of the program underlined

- **-l**

  Display residual parts of the program in bold and spectime parts underlined. This works well for terminals that differentiate between bold and underline.

- **-r**

  The opposite of **-l**; primarily useful with terminals that use reverse video to emulate underlining.

- **-w**

  Output HTML that uses bold red text for residual parts of the program and italic green text for spectime parts.

- **-s**

  Makes **cmixshow** install itself as a local HTTP server and start a WWW browser for interactive inspection of the annotations. This is the only way to inspect the extra annotations enabled by the **-s** or **-S** options to [**cmix**(1)](/cmix/1.md).

  The **BROWSER** environment variable selects which command to use to start the browser. If the variable is not set, **cmixshow** simply outputs an URL and waits for the user to start a browser.

  Each time the browser reloads the top frame, **cmixshow** checks if the **.ann** file has changed and reloads it if appropriate. In this way it is possible to view the new annotations each time **cmix** is rerun just by clicking the "Reload" button in the browser.

If no option is given, **-s** is assumed if the **BROWSER** variable is set, **-b** otherwise.

## OUTPUT

With the **-s** option, the output goes via a network connection to the browser.

In any other mode, if the standard output is a terminal, the pretty-printed output is piped to a pager. Otherwise it is sent to the standard output. Except with **-w**, bold and underlined text is created by backspace overstrike which is understood by most pagers.

## AUTHOR

C-Mix/II was developed at the University of Copenhagen.\
 The development team can be reached at **cmix@diku.dk**.

## BUGS

Probably numerous. Please file as detailed bug reports as you can to **cmix-bugreport@diku.dk**.

## ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES

- .B BROWSER

  Used to select a browser to start with the **-s** option

- .B PAGER

  Used to select a pager to start if neither **-s** nor **-h** is given and the output is a terminal
