Command: start

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference

Name:
 start - interpreter start symbol
Synopsis:
 - start -> -
Description:
   The full featured life of the interpreter begins after 
   boot-strapping with sli-init.sli by pushing the start symbol.
   When no commandline arguments are present the start symbol
   prepares for an interactive session in the shell with the
   help of the executive command. When command line arguments 
   are present a non-interactive session is assumed and the start 
   symbol prepares for recognition of these 
   arguments with the help of the :commandline command.     
   When executing files and an error is raised that is not 
   caught by the script, quit with the exit code scripterror, which
   is defined in the exitcodes dictionary in statusdict.
Parameters:
 
   start does not take any arguments. It evaluates the length 
   of argv which resides in the statusdict.
