SYNOPSIS

pike [ -driver-options ... ] [ script [ script-arguments ... ] ]

DESCRIPTION

Compiler and interpreter for the Pike programming language.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported by the loader:

-a

Increase the debug level of the peep-hole optimizer with 1 (debug).

-anum

Set the debug level of the peep-hole optimizer to num (debug).

-Dsymbol

Define the preprocessor symbol symbol to 1.

-Dsymbol=value

Define the preprocessor symbol symbol to value.

-d

Increase the debug level with 1 (debug).

-dnum

Set the debug level to num (debug).

-dc

Increase the debug level of the Pike compiler (debug).

-ds

Debug signals (debug).

-dt

Turn off tail recursion optimization (debug).

-l

Increase the debug level of the global optimizer with 1 (debug).

-lnum

Set the debug level of the global optimizer to num (debug).

-mmaster_program

Use master_program instead of the ordinary master program.

-qnum

End execution after executing num Pike instructions.

-snum

Set Pike stack size to num (minimum is 256).

-t

Increase the level of runtime trace with 1 (debug).

-tnum

Set the level of runtime trace to num (debug).

-p

Increase the level of profiling with 1 (debug).

-pnum

Set the level of profiling to num (debug).

-rt

Turn on runtime checking of arguments to function calls, and soft casts.

-rT

Turn on for all files.

The following options are supported by the default master program:

-h, --help,

Print help message and exit.

-eexpr,--execute=expr

Execute expr and exit.

-E, --preprocess

Just run the preprocessor.

-Idir,--include-path=dir

Append dir to the include path.

-Mdir,--modue-path=dir

Append dir to the module path.

-Pdir,--program-path=dir

Append dir to the program path.

-v, --version

Print version of Pike and exit.

-w, --warnings

Enable warnings.

-W, --woff, --no-warnings

Disable warnings.

--compiler-trace

Turn on tracing of the Pike compiler (debug).

--debug

Increase or set the debug level (debug).

--show-paths

Show the paths pike will use and exit (debug).

--trace

Increase the trace level (debug).

--trace=num

Set the trace level to num (debug).

OPERANDS

The following operand is supported:

script

A path to a script written in Pike to be compiled and then executed. Everything on the commandline after the script is passed as arguments to the script.

If no script is specified, pike will start in interactive- (Hilfe) mode.

REGISTRY KEYS

On NT, Pike is affected by the following keys in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Idonex\Pike\0.6\PIKE_MASTER HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Idonex\Pike\0.6\PIKE_MASTER

On NT, the default master program is affected by the following keys in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Idonex\Pike\0.6\share_prefix HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Idonex\Pike\0.6\share_prefix

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Idonex\Pike\0.6\lib_prefix HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Idonex\Pike\0.6\lib_prefix

ENVIRONMENT

Pike is affected by the following environment variables:

PIKE_MASTER

Specifies the name of the master program (overridden by -mmaster_program ).

Depending on operating system Pike may be affected by the following environment variables:

LC_ALL

Overrides the other LC_* variables.

LC_COLLATE

Specifies the character collation sequence.

LC_CTYPE

Specifies the character classification.

LC_MESSAGES

Specifies the language of the system messagedatabase.

LC_NUMERIC

Specifies the decimal and thousand delimiters.

LC_TIME

Specifies the date and time formats.

The default master program is affected by the following environment variables:

PIKE_INCLUDE_PATH

List of directories separated with colon (:), to search for include-files.

PIKE_PROGRAM_PATH

List of directories separated with colon (:), to search for program-files.

PIKE_MODULE_PATH

List of directories separated with colon (:), to search for modules.

Note that the above environment variables have effect before the default master program attempts to load the Getopt(3P) module, which occurrs before the master program arguments are parsed.

EXIT STATUS

The following exit values are returned:

0

Successfull completion.

>0

An error occurred. See output on stderr (fd #2) for reason.
