SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       fish  is  a  command-line  shell written mainly with interactive use in
13       mind. This page briefly describes the options for  invoking  fish.  The
14       full  manual is available in HTML by using the help command from inside
15       fish, and in the fish-doc(1) man page. The  tutorial  is  available  as
16       HTML via help tutorial or in fish-tutorial(1).
17
18       The following options are available:
19
20       · -c  or  --command=COMMANDS evaluate the specified commands instead of
21         reading from the commandline
22
23       · -C or --init-command=COMMANDS evaluate the specified  commands  after
24         reading the configuration, before running the command specified by -c
25         or reading interactive input
26
27       · -d or --debug=CATEGORY_GLOB enables debug output and specifies a glob
28         for matching debug categories (like fish -d). Defaults to empty.
29
30       · -o  or  --debug-output=path  Specify a file path to receive the debug
31         output, including categories and fish_trace. The default is stderr.
32
33       · -i or --interactive specify that fish is to run in interactive mode
34
35       · -l or --login specify that fish is to run as a login shell
36
37       · -n or --no-execute do not execute any commands, only  perform  syntax
38         checking
39
40       · -p  or --profile=PROFILE_FILE when fish exits, output timing informa‐
41         tion on all executed commands to the specified file
42
43       · -P or --private enables private mode, so fish will not access old  or
44         store new history.
45
46       · --print-rusage-self when fish exits, output stats from getrusage
47
48       · --print-debug-categories  outputs  the  list of debug categories, and
49         then exits.
50
51       · -v or --version display version and exit
52
53       · -D or --debug-stack-frames=DEBUG_LEVEL specify how many stack  frames
54         to  display  when  debug messages are written. The default is zero. A
55         value of 3 or 4 is usually sufficient to  gain  insight  into  how  a
56         given debug call was reached but you can specify a value up to 128.
57
58       · -f  or  --features=FEATURES  enables one or more feature flags (sepa‐
59         rated by a comma). These are how fish stages changes that might break
60         scripts.
61
62       The  fish  exit  status  is generally the exit status of the last fore‐
63       ground command. If fish is exiting because of a parse error,  the  exit
64       status is 127.
