hmake interactive commands
Commands you can type to the hmake interactive prompt are
very like those for Hugs. There are just a few extra and a few
missing. Any command can be abbreviated to its shortest unique prefix.
Commands that are identical in hi and Hugs:
| expr |
evaluate the expression |
| :? |
display help text |
| :quit |
exit |
| :load mod [mod...] |
load the named modules (note, not filenames!) |
| :load |
remove all modules |
| :reload |
repeat the last :load command |
| :also mod [mod...] |
load additional modules |
| :edit file |
edit filename |
| :edit |
edit the current module |
| :cd dir |
change the current directory |
| :cd |
show the current directory |
| :dir |
list the current directory |
| :set options |
set hmake/compiler options |
| :set |
show current hmake/compiler options |
| :unset options |
unset hmake/compiler options |
| :!command |
shell escape |
| :version |
display version of hmake |
Commands that are supported by hi (but not by Hugs):
| :hc compiler |
change Haskell compiler |
| :hc |
report current Haskell compiler,
and show available compilers |
Hugs commands which are not supported in hi:
| :names pat |
list names currently in scope |
| :info name |
describe the named object |
| :find name |
edit the module containing the definition of name
(suggestion: use
:!grep ^name *.hs to find the module) |
| :project filename |
obsolete (project files were an alternative to the
Haskell module system) |
| :gc |
force a garbage collection
(only makes sense in a true interpreter) |
