💖 GBR3(1) — the girlies' guide to gbr3 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for gbr3, aka the GAMBAS Interpreter. yes that's the section called NAME, and yes I'm folding it in right here at the top like a little bow 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gbr3 [options] <executable file> [<arguments>]

like... that's the whole vibe. options first, then the file you wanna run, then whatever arguments you're throwing at it. slay.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so Gambas is a free development environment built on a Basic interpreter with object extensions — think of it as a lil mashup of Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm), no cap. ✨

and with Gambas you can literally:

  • design your program GUI with Qt or GTK+ 🎨
  • access database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQlite or ODBC databases 💾
  • pilot applications with DBus 🚌
  • translate your program into many languages 🌍
  • create GStreamer, OpenGL or SDL applications 🎮
  • and so on... (the "and so on" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here but ok 💅)

and gbr3? it's the interpreter that lets you execute a Gambas executable. that's it. that's the job. main character energy fr fr 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per option, bestie, and I'm not skipping a single one because we do NOT do that here:

  • -a <path> — override the application path. like, "no babe, the app lives here now." 🦋
  • -g — enter debugging mode. detective era. 🔍
  • -h, --help — display help and exit. the classic "help me pls" button 🫶
  • -H, --httpd — run through an embedded http server 🌐
  • -j — disable the just-in-time compiler. no JIT today, we're going raw ⚡
  • -k — do not unload shared libraries. they stay loaded, they stay cozy 💜
  • -L, --license — display license. legal girlie moment 📜
  • -p <path> — activate profiling and debugging mode 📊
  • -r <path> — redirect standard error output. send the stderr somewhere else bestie 🚚
  • -s <class> — override the startup class. new main character, same program ✨
  • -t, --trace — dump the position of each executed line of code. every single line, tracked, exposed, iconic 📍
  • -T — list all test modules 🧪
  • -T <tests> — run the specified test modules. (yes -T shows up twice, it's a two-for-one deal, we love a multitasker) 🧪🔥
  • -V, --version — display version. "what era are we in" check 📅
