\subsection fish-description Description

`fish` is a command-line shell written mainly with interactive use in mind. The full manual is available <a href='index.html'>in HTML</a> by using the <a href='#help'>help</a> command from inside fish.

The following options are available:

- `-c` or `--command=COMMANDS` evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline

- `-d` or `--debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL` specify the verbosity level of fish. A higher number means higher verbosity. The default level is 1.

- `-i` or `--interactive` specify that fish is to run in interactive mode

- `-l` or `--login` specify that fish is to run as a login shell

- `-n` or `--no-execute` do not execute any commands, only perform syntax checking

- `-p` or `--profile=PROFILE_FILE` when fish exits, output timing information on all executed commands to the specified file

- `-v` or `--version` display version and exit

- `-D` or `--debug-stack-frames=DEBUG_LEVEL` specify how many stack frames to display when debug messages are written. The default is zero. A value of 3 or 4 is usually sufficient to gain insight into how a given debug call was reached but you can specify a value up to 128.

The fish exit status is generally the exit status of the last foreground command. If fish is exiting because of a parse error, the exit status is 127.

Tutorial auto colouring, Man page and Make fixes Completely fixes #1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and generally prettier. todo: - trap unmarked text as arguments in context - test & fix sed portability - see in particular. (so far tested on BSD (Mac) and GNU sed). - test Makefile changes - last round of aesthetic changes and getting that ascii fish in there… 2014-08-08 02:44:37 +00:00			`fish [OPTIONS] [-c command] [FILE [ARGUMENTS...]]`

make debug() output more useful This change does several things. First, and most important, it allows dumping the "n" most recent stack frames on each debug() call. Second, it demangles the C++ symbols. Third, it prepends each debug() message with the debug level. Unrelated to the above I've replaced all `assert(!is_forked_child());` statements with `ASSERT_IS_NOT_FORKED_CHILD()` for consistency. 2016-05-16 02:45:02 +00:00			- `-D` or `--debug-stack-frames=DEBUG_LEVEL` specify how many stack frames to display when debug messages are written. The default is zero. A value of 3 or 4 is usually sufficient to gain insight into how a given debug call was reached but you can specify a value up to 128.
