SYNOPSIS

10       VERSION]

DESCRIPTION

13       ksshell is an interactive kickstart  shell.   It  optionally  takes  an
14       input  kickstart  file  as  the basis, allows the user to specify addi‐
15       tional kickstart commands, and then writes out the  finished  kickstart
16       file  to  stdout or the given file name.  This program supports all the
17       usual readline niceties including tab completion of kickstart  commands
18       and their options, though not the values those options can take.
19
20       In  addition  to  understanding all the kickstart commands, ksshell has
21       some builtin commands of its own to make working with  kickstart  files
22       in the context of a shell easier:
23
24       .clear Clear  the  existing  kickstart data, including any from INFILE.
25              This essentially starts you over from a blank state.
26
27       .quit  Quit the interactive shell, either saving to the file  given  by
28              OUTFILE or printing to stdout if none was given.
29
30       .show  Print the current kickstart file state.
31

EXIT STATUS

33       ksshell returns 0 on success, and 1 if VERSION is incorrect.  If INFILE
34       does not exist, a warning will be printed but the user  will  still  be
35       dumped to the interactive shell.
36

OPTIONS

38       -i, --input INFILE
39                 The name of the input kickstart file.
40
41       -o, --output OUTFILE
42                 Write  the  flattened kickstart file to OUTFILE, or stdout if
43                 no filename is given.
44
45       -v, --version VERSION
46                 Use this version of  kickstart  syntax  when  processing  the
47                 file, or the latest if no version is given.
