.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
This manual page documents briefly the \fBslsh\fR command\&. This manual page was written for the \fBDebian\fP distribution because the original program does not have a manual page\&.  
.PP 
\fBslsh\fR is an interpreter for scripts written in the S-Lang language\&. 
.SH "OPTIONS" 
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10 
Show summary of options 
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10 
Show slsh version information 
.IP "\fB-g\fP" 10 
Compile with debugging code, tracebacks, etc 
.IP "\fB-n\fP" 10 
Don\&'t load personal init file 
.IP "\fB-i \fIinit-file\fR\fP" 10 
Use this file instead of default 
.IP "\fB-v\fP" 10 
Show verbose loading messages 
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" 
.PP 
Upon startup, the program will try to load \fBslsh\&.rc\fP as follows:  
.PP 
If either \fBSLSH_CONF_DIR\fP or \fBSLSH_LIB_DIR\fP environment variables exist, then look in the corresponding directories for \fBslsh\&.rc\fP\&. Otherwise look in:  
.IP "" 10 
\fB$(prefix)/etc\fP (specified in \fBMakefile\fP) 
.IP "" 10 
\fB/usr/local/etc/\fP 
.IP "" 10 
\fB/usr/local/etc/slsh/\fP 
.IP "" 10 
\fB/etc/\fP 
.IP "" 10 
\fB/etc/slsh/\fP 
 
.PP 
The \fBslsh\&.rc\fP file may load other files from slsh\&'s library directory in the manner described below\&.  
.PP 
Once \fBslsh\&.rc\fP is loaded, slsh will load \fB$HOME/\&.slshrc\fP if present\&. Finally, it will load the script specified on the command line\&. If the name of the script is ``\fI-\fP'', then it will be read from stdin\&.  
.PP 
When a script loads a file via the built-in ``\fI\fBevalfile\fP\fP'' function or the ``\fI\fBrequire\fP\fP'' function (autoloaded by \fBslsh\&.rc\fP), the file is searched for along the \fBSLSH_PATH\fP as specified in the Makefile\&. An alternate path may be specified by the \fBSLSH_PATH\fP environment variable\&.  
.PP 
The search path may be queried and set during run time via set the \fBget_lib_path\fP and \fBset_lib_path\fP functions, e\&.g\&.,  
.PP 
.nf 
set_lib_path ("/home/bill/lib/slsh:/usr/share/slsh"); 
 
.fi
