This reads any additional positional arguments given to `fish -c` into $argv. We don't handle the first argument specially (as `$0`) as that's confusing and doesn't seem very useful. Fixes #2314.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
fish is a command-line shell written mainly with interactive use in mind. This page briefly describes the options for invoking fish. The :ref:`full manual <intro>` is available in HTML by using the :ref:`help <cmd-help>` command from inside fish, and in the `fish-doc(1)` man page. The :ref:`tutorial <tutorial>` is available as HTML via ``help tutorial`` or in `fish-tutorial(1)`.
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
- ``-c`` or ``--command=COMMANDS`` evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline, passing any additional positional arguments via :ref:`$argv <variables-argv>`. Note that, unlike other shells, the first argument is *not* the name of the program (``$0``), but simply the first normal argument.
|
|
|
|
- ``-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=DEBUG_CATEGORIES`` enable debug output and specify a pattern for matching debug categories. See :ref:`Debugging <debugging-fish>` below for details.
|
|
|
|
- ``-o`` or ``--debug-output=DEBUG_FILE`` specify a file path to receive the debug output, including categories and ``fish_trace``. The default is stderr.
|
|
|
|
- ``-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
|
|
|
|
- ``-P`` or ``--private`` enables :ref:`private mode <private-mode>`, so fish will not access old or store new history.
|
|
|
|
- ``--print-rusage-self`` when fish exits, output stats from getrusage
|
|
|
|
- ``--print-debug-categories`` outputs the list of debug categories, and then exits.
|
|
|
|
- ``-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 :ref:`feature flags <featureflags>` (separated by a comma). These are how fish stages changes that might break scripts.
|
|
|
|
The fish exit status is generally the :ref:`exit status of the last foreground command <variables-status>`.

Debugging
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
While fish provides extensive support for :ref:`debugging fish scripts <debugging>`, it is also possible to debug and instrument its internals. Debugging can be enabled by passing the ``--debug`` option. For example, the following command turns on debugging for background IO thread events, in addition to the default categories, i.e. *debug*, *error*, *warning*, and *warning-path*::
|
|
|
|
> fish --debug=iothread
|
|
|
|
Available categories are listed by ``fish --print-debug-categories``. The ``--debug`` option accepts a comma-separated list of categories, and supports glob syntax. The following command turns on debugging for *complete*, *history*, *history-file*, and *profile-history*, as well as the default categories::
|
|
|
|
> fish --debug='complete,*history*'
|
|
|
|
Debug messages output to stderr by default. Note that if ``fish_trace`` is set, execution tracing also outputs to stderr by default. You can output to a file using the ``--debug-output`` option::
|
|
|
|
> fish --debug='complete,*history*' --debug-output=/tmp/fish.log --init-command='set fish_trace on'
