Synopsis

fish [OPTIONS] [-c command] [FILE [ARGUMENTS...]]


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

- ``-C`` or ``--init-command=COMMANDS`` evaluate the specified commands after reading the configuration, before running the command specified by ``-c`` or reading interactive input

- ``-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.

- ``-f`` or ``--features=FEATURES`` enables one or more feature flags (separated by a comma). These are how fish stages changes that might break scripts.

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.
