REPLY(1p)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is reply — it reads, it evals, it prints, it loops. yay! 🎀 that's literally the whole thing, a REPL, and she ate 💅

---

✨ VERSION ✨

this is version 0.42 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

reply [-lb] [-I dir] [-M mod] [--version] [--help] [--cfg file]

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so this script runs the Reply shell, no cap. she goes looking for a config file in .replyrc in your home directory 📁, and if that file isn't there? she'll just generate a basic config for you. main character behavior honestly 💅

for more info about using and configuring this program, go read the Reply documentation, that's where the lore lives 📚✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

reply takes these command line options, and yes we're going through all of them, periodt:

• -I lib — adds the given directory to @INC. like, "hey perl, look here too" 🧚
• -l — equivalent to -I lib. same energy, shorter name 🎀
• -b — equivalent to -I blib/lib -I blib/arch. both of them, in one little flag, iconic 🔥
• -M Carp::Always — loads the specified module before starting the repl. and listen, it's loaded within the repl, so things like exporting actually work properly 🙈 (yes that detail matters)
• --cfg ~/.replyrc — specifies a different configuration file to use. ~/.replyrc is the default, so if you don't say anything, that's the one she's grabbing 💖
• --version — displays the program version. in case you forgot: 0.42 ✨
• --help — displays usage information. when in doubt, ask for help bestie 🫶
