10
12 Hconsole is a Python script that invokes Hatari and then provides an
13 interactive shell (with full readline editing capabilities) for execut‐
14 ing Hatari remote API commands.
15
16 It can be useful for first exploring Hatari's remote API usage interac‐
17 tively and then writing scripts that somehow automate your Hatari
18 usage. They can invoke hconsole functionality simply by doing "import
19 hconsole" and calling appropriate methods (see example.py coming with
20 hconsole).
21
23 Normally hconsole forwards all of its arguments to Hatari instance it
24 invoked. If you want to give arguments for hconsole itself, you need
25 to add '--' argument after the hconsole arguments and before the argu‐
26 ments going to Hatari.
27
28 If you give a file name as hconsole argument, commands in it will be
29 read and executed through Hatari's remote API before you get into hcon‐
30 sole interactive shell.
31
32 Hconsole accepts following options:
33
34 --exit Exit after starting Hatari and parsing arguments.
35
36 --help, -h
37 Show command line help.
38
40 Start Hatari with all of the given arguments:
41 hconsole.py --monitor mono -d test/
42
43 Start Hatari without extra arguments, execute commands from the given
44 commands.txt file, exit after the file ends:
45 hconsole.py commands.txt --exit --
46
48 By default hconsole and its examples are installed under the
49 /usr/share/hatari/hconsole/ directory.
