QORE(1) 💅

okay so welcome to the General Commands Manual page for qore, bestie. This is the whole thing, and it's lowkey iconic ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

qore — Interpreter for the Qore Programming Language. That's the whole vibe, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

qore [options(s)]...  [program file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so what even is qore? It's a modular, multi-threaded, SQL-integrated weakly-typed scripting language with procedural and object-oriented features, powerful and easy-to-use data types, structures, and operators, plus a clean and easy-to-lean/read syntax. It's giving “serious language, but make it readable” and honestly? Obsessed 💜

✨ OPTIONS ✨

When qore is invoked it interprets the following options, bestie:

• -d, --debug=arg — sets debugging level (higher number = more output). Only available with debug builds.
• -t, --trace — turns on function tracing. Only available with debug builds.
• -h, --help — shows the help text.
• -c, --charset=arg — sets default character set encoding.
• -e, --exec=arg — allows a qore program to be specified on the command-line.
• -x, --exec-class[=arg] — instantiate a class with the same name as the file name, override class name with the optional argument. Also sets --no-top-level for more pure object-oriented coding.
• -m, --show-module-errors — shows any errors related to qore module loading and/or initilization 💀
• --show-charsets — displays the list of known character sets.
• --show-aliases — displays the list of character sets aliases.
• -V, --version — shows version information for the invoked instance of qore on the standard output and exits successfully.

🔥 PARSE OPTIONS 🔥

Parse options interpreted by qore. These are the “what is the language even allowed to do” options, and they are very much giving rules-era energy:

• -G, --no-global-vars — makes global variable definitions illegal
• -S, --no-subroutine-def — makes subroutine definitions illegal
• -T, --no-threads — makes thread operations illegal
• -L, --no-top-level — makes top-level statements illegal
• -C, --no-class-defs — makes class definitions illegal
• -D, --no-namespace-defs — makes namespace declarations illegal
• -E, --no-external-process — makes access to external processes illegal
• -P, --no-process-control — makes process control illegal (fork(), exit(), etc)
• -F, --no-constant-defs — makes constant definitions illegal
• -N, --no-new — makes using the "new" operator illegal
• -I, --no-child-restrictions — do not restrict subprograms' parse options
• -O, --require-our — requires global variables to be declared with "our"
