DESCRIPTION

21       jrunscript is a command line script shell. jrunscript supports both  an
22       interactive  (read-eval-print)  mode  and  a  batch (-f option) mode of
23       script execution. This is a scripting language  independent  shell.  By
24       default, JavaScript is the language used, but the -l option can be used
25       to specify a different language. Through  Java  to  scripting  language
26       communication, jrunscript supports "exploratory programming" style.
27
28       NOTE: This tool is experimental and may not be available in future ver‐
29       sions of the JDK.

OPTIONS

32       -classpath path
33          Specify where to find the user's .class files that are  accessed  by
34          the script.
35
36       -cp path
37          This is a synonym for -classpath path
38
39       -Dname=value
40          Set a Java system property.
41
42       -J<flag>
43          Pass <flag> directly to the Java virtual machine on which jrunscript
44          is run.
45
46       -l language
47          Use the specified scripting  language.  By  default,  JavaScript  is
48          used.  Note  that to use other scripting languages, you also need to
49          specify the corresponding script engine's  jar  file  using  -cp  or
50          -classpath option.
51
52       -e script
53          Evaluate  the  given  script.  This  option  can be used to run "one
54          liner" scripts specified completely on the command line.
55
56       -encoding encoding
57          Specify the character encoding used while reading script files.
58
59       -f script-file
60          Evaluate the given script file (batch mode).
61
62       -f -
63          Read and evaluate a script from standard input (interactive mode).
64
65       -help
66          Output help message and exit.
67
68       -?
69          Output help message and exit.
70
71       -q
72          List all script engines available and exit.
73

ARGUMENTS

75       If [arguments...] are present and if no -e or -f option is  used,  then
76       the first argument is the script file and the rest of the arguments, if
77       any, are passed as script arguments. If  [arguments..]  and  -e  or  -f
78       option are used, then all [arguments..] are passed as script arguments.
79       If [arguments..], -e and -f are  missing,  interactive  mode  is  used.
80       Script  arguments are available to a script in an engine variable named
81       "arguments" of type String array.
82

EXAMPLES

84       Executing inline scripts
85
86          jrunscript -e "print('hello world')"
87          jrunscript -e "cat('http://java.sun.com')"
88
89
90       Use specified language and evaluate given script file
91
92          jrunscript -l js -f test.js
93
94
95       Interactive mode
96
97          jrunscript
98          js>print('hello world');

100          js>34 + 55
101          89

107       Run script file with script arguments
108
109          jrunscript test.js arg1 arg2 arg3

112       test.js is script file to execute and arg1, arg2 and arg3 are passed to
