✨ SOLLYA(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for sollya — it's a User Command situation, section 1 of the manual, and it is genuinely one of the most underrated icons out here. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's go.

💖 NAME 💖

sollya — a whole tool environment for safe floating-point code development, and also a command-line interface. two vibes, one girlie. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sollya [options]

that's it. that's the whole entrance. walk in, drop some options, own the place 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so sollya is both a tool environment and a library for safe floating-point code development. she contains multitudes, periodt.

she's especially targeted at the automated implementation of mathematical floating-point libraries — yes, libm, that libm — which is honestly main character behavior if you think about it.

and among other features? she's got:

  • a certified infinity (supremum) norm 👑
  • a fast Remez algorithm 🔥

no cap. absolute queen energy.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

so here's every flag, and yes we're doing all of them, no skipping the "boring" ones, that's not how we move here:

  • --args — transmits the following arguments verbatim to the interpreter. straight through, untouched, no editing, iconic.
  • --donotmodifystacksize — do not attempt to set the maximal stack size to the maximum size allowed on the system. you're telling her: hands off my stack.
  • --flush — flush standard output and standard error after each and every command. every single one. meticulous 💅
  • --help — prints this help text. the classic.
  • --nocolor — do not color the output using ANSI escape sequences. monochrome mode, minimalism era.
  • --noprompt — do not print a prompt symbol. no >, no nothing, just vibes.
  • --oldautoprint — print commas between autoprinted elements separated by commas. yes bestie, that's really what it says. commas upon commas. legacy behavior fr fr.
  • --oldexternalprocprint — prints the signature of an external procedure when autoprinting. the old way, but make it verbose.
  • --oldrlwrapcompatible — achieves some compatibility with old rlwrap versions by emitting wrong ANSI sequences. it is deprecated 🚩 so like... you've been warned, don't come for me.
  • --version — prints the version of Sollya, plus the copyright, the list of authors, and the no warranty notice. the full receipts. 📜
  • --warninfile[append] <file> — print warning messages into a file instead of on the standard output. note the [append] — it's optional and it's right there in the bracket, keep it exact bestie.
  • --warnonstderr — print warning messages on error output instead of on the standard output. redirect those little warnings, let them live their truth.
and for help on sollya commands specifically? type "help;" on the sollya prompt. yes, with the semicolon, she's a semicolon girlie.

a complete documentation on sollya is available on the sollya website — which is, and I'm quoting the page here, <http://sollya.org/>. go look, it's giving reference material 💖
