short [options] class_name

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the smalleiffel, compile, compile_to_c, compile_to_jvm, clean, finder, pretty, print_jvm_class, short and smalleiffel.sh commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format, which may be browsed through dwww; see below.

smalleiffel is a set of programs that compile and manage programs written in the Eiffel language. When using them, the environment variable SmallEiffel must be set to /usr/lib/smalleiffel. A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see the HTML documentation.

smalleiffel.sh

A shell script presenting a menu for greater convenience in editing and compiling Eiffel code.

compile [-c_code] [options] root_class [root_procedure]

compile a set of Eiffel classes into an executable program.

compile_to_c [options] root_class [root_procedure] [*.c] [*.o] [-l*]

compile a set of Eiffel classes into C code.

compile_to_jvm [options] root_class [root_procedure]

compile a set of Eiffel classes into Java code.

clean [-verbose] root_class ...

Removes all intermediate files produced by a previous compilation.

finder class

Find an Eiffel class using the current search path.

pretty [options] class_name ...

Formats Eiffel source code files.

print_jvm_class path[.class]

Prints on standard output a human-readable form of a class file produced by compile_to_jvm.

short [options] class_name

Prints the public interface of a class.

The programs are documented fully in the directory /usr/lib/smalleiffel/html, available via the dwww system.
