# smjs(1)

javascript shell

## NAME

smjs - javascript shell

## SYNOPSIS

**smjs**

## DESCRIPTION

The "JS shell", a simple interpreter program that uses the JS API and more than a few internal interfaces (some of these internal interfaces could be replaced by jsapi.h calls). The js program built from this source provides a test vehicle for evaluating scripts and calling functions, trying out new debugger primitives, etc.

**It is not recommended for production use**, as it contains dangerous (security-wise) debugging features.
