Cost interpreter

Usage

costsh

nsgmls {document | costsh {-S specfile | -f} [script-option ...] > outputfile}

Overview

Cost is a general SGML post-processing tool. It reads an ESIS (Element Structure Information Set) stream (usually from an SGML parser, i. e. sgmls or nsgmls) and constructs a data tree. Then, a Tcl script can traverse this tree, and process and/or output data as desired.

costsh is an interface to Cost. costwish is a Tk-enabled version of costsh.

If run without arguments, costsh will present a prompt, and accept Tcl commands from standard input.

Options

-S specfile script-options

Evaluate the Tcl script specfile. script-options are available in the global list argv. This option implies -f.

-f

Read a parsed document instance from standard input, then call the Tcl procedure main, if any, and exit.

Errors

1

Error in processing command-line options.
