SQUIRREL(1)

✨ SQUIRREL(1) — the squirrel3 manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so like, welcome to the squirrel page, from the squirrel3 manual 💖 this is the one that tells you all about squirrel, the standalone Squirrel interpreter. sit down, get comfy, we're doing this 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

squirrel — the Squirrel interpreter, no cap 🐿️

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

squirrel [ options ] [ script [ args ] ]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so squirrel is the standalone Squirrel interpreter. she loads and executes programs written in the Squirrel programming language, and she'll take them either in textual source form or in precompiled binary form. and literally, you can also make those precompiled binaries yourself with squirrel by using the -c option. so versatile, she ate 💅

she can be used both interactively and as a batch interpreter — main character energy in every mode honestly 👑

and here's the vibe check on how she starts up:

• if you call squirrel with no options and no arguments, you get dropped straight into interactive mode ✨
• if script is specified, but not -c, the script gets interpreted and then the program just... exits. bye 👋

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -c — compile the script you specified into bytecode, output it into a file, and then exit. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀
• -o name — output the bytecode that -c generates into name instead of the default out.cnut. name your baby whatever you want bestie 🍼
• -d — generate debug information 🔍
• -h — display a short help message. she's helpful like that 🫶
• -v — display version information 📌
