GIAC(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to GIAC(1) from the General Commands Manual — literally the page for giac, the computer algebra system. cas is in the group chat too. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

giac [options] files...
cas [options] files...
xcas [options] files...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page gives you the quick tea on the giac and cas commands. the xcas version shows a nice GUI for the program — main character energy, honestly.

this man page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. (iykyk)

giac is an advance symbolic and numeric calculator by Bernard Parisse. no cap, symbolic + numeric is literally its whole vibe.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). here’s a summary of options, bestie. for a complete description, see the Info files.

• -h, --help — show summary of options. literally the “help me” button.
• -v, --version — show version of program. the “who am I” button.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• the programs are documented fully by the GIAC/XCAS manual, available via the Info system.
• docs in DVI format in /usr/share/doc/giac directory.

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Carleos Artime <carleos@pinon.ccu.uniovi.es>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). slay.
