xowish(1)

NAME
xowish - Simple windowing shell containing NSF/XOTcl2 interpreter

SYNOPSIS
xowish ?fileName?

DESCRIPTION

xowish ?fileName?
    xowish is a shell-like application including Tcl and the XOTcl2 as well as the Tk toolkit. xowish creates a main window and, then, reads commands from its standard input or from fileName and evaluates them. If invoked without fileName, then it runs in REPL mode, reading commands from standard input. xowish will continue processing commands until all windows have been deleted or until end-of-file is reached on standard input.

    xowish can be used like wish to make XOTcl2 scripts directly invocable from the shell, by providing the following first line ("shebang") in the respective script:
        #! /usr/bin/env xowish

    A (more portable) alternative is:
        #! /bin/sh
        # the next line restarts using xowish \
            exec xowish "$0" "$@"
