.SH DESCRIPTION
This page explains the 
.B fim
language, which is used for the 
.B fimrc
configuration files, {scriptfile}s, or {commands} passed via command line {options}.
This language can be used to issue commands (or programs) from the internal program command line accessed interactively through the ":" key (or rather, the key code specified by the "_console_key" variable).
One may exit from command line mode by pressing the Enter key on an empty line (a non empty command line would be submitted for execution), or the Esc key  (only in SDL mode).
The general form of a fim command/program is shown in the next section.


.SH FIM LANGUAGE GRAMMAR
This section specifies the grammar of the 
.B fim
language.

Language elements surrounded by a single quote ("'") are literals.

Warning: at the present state, this grammar has conflicts. A future release shall fix them.

            | STRING

A STRING can be either a single quoted string or a double quoted string.
A FLOAT is a floating point number.
A QUOTED_FLOAT is a floating point number, either single ("'") or double (""") quoted.
An INTEGER shall be an unsigned integer number.
An IDENTIFIER shall be one of the valid fim commands (see 
.B COMMANDS REFERENCE
) or a valid alias.
A VARIABLE shall be an already declared or undeclared variable identifier (see 
.B VARIABLES REFERENCE
) or a valid alias, created using the 
.B alias
command.
The "=~" operator treats the right expression as a STRING, and uses is as a regular expression for matching purposes.
The SLASH_AND_REGEXP is a slash ("/") followed by a STRING, interpreted as a regular expression.
See \fR\fIregex\fR(1) for regular expression syntax.

The way some one\-line statements are evaluated:

.nf
:       enter command line mode
:{number}       jump to {number}^th image in the list
:^	        jump to first image in the list
:$	        jump to last image in the list
:*{factor}      scale the image by {factor}
:{scale}%       scale the image to the desired {scale}
:+{scale}%       scale the image up to the desired percentage {scale} (relatively to the original)
:\-{scale}%       scale the image down to the desired percentage {scale} (relatively to the original)

/{regexp}		 entering the pattern {regexp} (with /) makes fim jump to the next image whose filename matches {regexp}
/*.png$		 entering this pattern (with /) makes fim jump to the next image whose filename ends with 'png'
/png		 a shortcut for /.*png.*

!{syscmd}		executes the {syscmd} quoted string as a "/bin/sh" shell command

_orientation
[internal,i:] Orthogonal clockwise rotation (orientation) is controlled by: 'i:_orientation', 'g:_orientation' and applied on a per\-image basis. In particular, the values of the three variables are summed up and the sum is interpreted as the image orientation.  If the sum is 0, no rotation will apply; if it is 1, a single ( 90') rotation will apply; if it is 2, a double (180') rotation will apply; if it is 3, a triple (270') rotation will apply.  If the sum is not one of 0,1,2,3, the value of the sum modulo 4 is considered.  Therefore, ":i:_orientation=1" and ":i:_orientation=5" are equivalent: they rotate the image one time by 90'.

.SH NOTES
This manual page is incomplete: a number of topics, as type conversions, or operator precedence, or exact command usage is left unspecified.
The conditions for autocommands triggering are not specified as they should.
A formal description of the various one\-line commands, as well a more extensive example list is needed.
Many of the listed variables are only valid within a namespace, and this shall be documented clearly.
.SH BUGS
The
.B fim
language has a number of problems that shall be first documented, then fixed.
