CALC COMMAND LINE
CALC COMMAND ARGUMENTS
Without calc_cmd, calc operates interactively. If one or
more calc_cmd are given on the command line and -s is NOT
given, then calc will evaluate and execute them and then
exit.
If -i is given, calc will attempt to become interactive even
of one or more calc_cmd are given on the command line.
With no calc_cmd arguments, calc operates interactively. If one
or more arguments are given on the command line and -s is NOT
given, then calc will read and execute them and either attempt
to go interactive according as the -i flag was present or absent.
If -s is given, calc will not evaluate any calc_cmd
arguments but instead make them available as strings to the
argv() builtin function.
Normally on startup, calc attempts to execute a collection
of resource files. The environment variable $CALCRC (if
non-existent then a compiled in value) contains a
: separated list of startup resource files. No error
conditions are produced if these startup resource file are
not found.
Sufficiently simple commands with no no characters like
parentheses, brackets, semicolons, '*', which have special
interpretations in UNIX commands may be entered, possibly with
spaces, until the terminating newline. For example:
If the mode disables opening of files for reading, then the
startup resource files are disabled as of -q was given and
$CALCRC as well as the default compiled in value are
ignored.
calc 23 + 47
Filenames are subject to ``~'' expansion (see below). The
environment variable $CALCPATH (if non-existent then a
compiled in value) contains a : separated list of search
directories. If a file does not begin with /, ~ or ./, then
it is searched for under each directory listed in the
$CALCPATH. It is an error if no such readable file is
found.
should respond with display of 70, but:
calc 23 * 47
may fail. Such cases can usually be made to work as expected by
enclosing the command between single quotation marks as in:
calc '23 * 47'
and
calc 'print sqrt(2), exp(1)'
If '!' is to be used to indicate the factorial function, for
shells like csh for which '!' followed by a non-space character
is used for history substitution, it may be necessary to
include a space or use a backslash to escape the special
meaning of '!'. For example, the command "print 27!^2" may have
to be replaced by "print 27! ^2" or "print 27\!^2".
CALC STARTUP FILES
Normally on startup, if the environment variable $CALCRC is
undefined and calc is invoked without the -q flag, or if
$CALCRC is defined and calc is invoked with -e, calc looks
for a file "startup" in the calc resource directory, .calcrc in
the user's home directory, and .calcinit in the current directory.
If one or more of these are found, they are read in succession
as calc scripts and their commands executed. When defined,
$CALCRC is to contain a ':' separated list of names of files,
and if calc is then invoked without either the -q or -e flags,
these files are read in succession and their commands executed.
No error condition is produced if a listed file is not found.
If the mode specified by -m disables opening of files for
reading, then the reading of startup files is also disabled
as if -q was given.
CALC FILE SEARCH PATH
If the environment variable $CALCPATH is undefined, or if it
is defined and calc is invoked with the -e flag, when a file
name not beginning with /, ~ or ./, is specified as in:
calc read myfile
calc searches in succession:
./myfile
./myfile.cal
${LIBDIR}/myfile
${LIBDIR}/myfile.cal
${CUSTOMLIBDIR}/myfile
${CUSTOMLIBDIR}/myfile.cal
If the file is found, the search stops and the commands in
the file are executed. It is an error if no readable file
with the specified name is found. An alternative search
path can be specified by defining $CALCPATH in the same way
as PATH is defined, as a ':' separated list of directories,
and then invoking calc without the -e flag.
Calc treats all open files, other than stdin, stdout and
stderr as files available for reading and writing. One may
