# seed(1)

libseed JavaScript REPL/Interpreter.

## NAME

seed - libseed JavaScript REPL/Interpreter.

## SYNOPSIS

**seed** \[OPTION...\] \[SCRIPT\]

## DESCRIPTION

seed acts as a simple read-eval-print loop for libseed's GObject JavaScriptCore bindings, unless the path to a script to interpret is specified.

## OPTIONS

- **--help**

  Show these help options.

- **--version**

  Print interpreter version.

- **-e expression**

  Takes the JavaScript expression, checks its syntax, and evaluates it, printing the return value.

- **--seed-debug=DEBUGFLAGS**

  Show debug messages, filtered by the specified debug flags. If one wishes to see all possible debug messages, specify the flag "all" (keep in mind that this will produce a significant amount of output). Otherwise, specify a comma-separated list of: misc, finalization, initialization, signal, invocation, structs, construction, gtype, importer, module.

- Report bugs at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ in the seed product.
