NAME¶
rhino-jsc - invokes the rhino JavaScript compiler
SYNOPSIS¶
rhino-jsc [options] file1.js [file2.js...]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
rhino-jsc command. This manual
page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
not have a manual page. It is written according to the html documentation.
rhino-jsc is a start script for the rhino JavaScript compiler. The
JavaScript compiler translates JavaScript source into Java class files. The
resulting Java class files can then be loaded and executed at another time,
providing a convenient method for transferring JavaScript, and for avoiding
translation cost. Note that the top-level functions available to the shell
(such as print) are not available to compiled scripts when they are run
outside the shell.
OPTIONS¶
- -extends java_class_name
- Specifies that a java class extending the Java class java_class_name
should be generated from the incoming JavaScript source file. Each global
function in the source file is made a method of the generated class,
overriding any methods in the base class by the same name.
- -implements java_intf_name
- Specifies that a java class implementing the Java interface java_intf_name
should be generated from the incoming JavaScript source file. Each global
function in the source file is made a method of the generated class,
implementing any methods in the interface by the same name.
- -debug, -g
- Specifies that debug information should be generated. May not be combined
with optimization at an optLevel greater than zero.
- -nosource
- Does not save the source in the class file. Functions and scripts compiled
this way cannot be decompiled. This option can be used to avoid
distributing source or simply to save space in the resulting class
file.
- -o outputFile
- Writes the class file to the given file (which should end in .class). The
string outputFile must be a writable filename.
- -opt, -O optLevel
- Optimizes at level optLevel, which must be an integer between 0 and
9.
- -package packageName
- Specifies the package to generate the class into. The string packageName
must be composed of valid identifier characters optionally separated by
periods.
- -version versionNumber
- Specifies the language version to compile with. The string versionNumber
must be one of 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140. See JavaScript Language
Versions for more information on language versions.
EXAMPLE¶
Example compiling the NervousText.js applet written in JavaScript. The example
is provided in the librhino-java-doc package.
$ rhino-jsc -extends java.applet.Applet -implements java.lang.Runnable
NervousText.js
