NAME

fish — the friendly interactive shell

Synopsis


fish[OPTIONS][-c command][FILE[ARGUMENTS...]]

Description

fish is a command-line shell written mainly with interactive use in mind. The full manual is available in HTML by using the help command from inside fish.

The following options are available:

•

-c or –command=COMMANDS evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline

•

-d or –debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL specify the verbosity level of fish. A higher number means higher verbosity. The default level is 1.

•

-i or –interactive specify that fish is to run in interactive mode

•

-l or –login specify that fish is to run as a login shell

•

-n or –no-execute do not execute any commands, only perform syntax checking

•

-p or –profile=PROFILE_FILE when fish exits, output timing information on all executed commands to the specified file

•

-v or –version display version and exit

The fish exit status is generally the exit status of the last foreground command. If fish is exiting because of a parse error, the exit status is 127.
