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
