For details, use `man %s` or see the online documentation at https://git.yzena.com/gavin/bc/src/tag/%s/manuals/bc/%s.1.md. This dc is (mostly) compatible with the OpenBSD dc and the GNU dc. See the OpenBSD man page (http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-current/man1/dc.1) and the GNU dc manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/dc-1.05/html_mono/dc.html) for details. This dc has a few differences from the two above: 1) When printing a byte stream (command "P"), this bc follows what the FreeBSD dc does. 2) This dc implements the GNU extensions for divmod ("~") and modular exponentiation ("|"). 3) This dc implements all FreeBSD extensions, except for "J" and "M". 4) This dc does not implement the run command ("!"), for security reasons. 5) Like the FreeBSD dc, this dc supports extended registers. However, they are implemented differently. When it encounters whitespace where a register should be, it skips the whitespace. If the character following is not a lowercase letter, an error is issued. Otherwise, the register name is parsed by the following regex: [a-z][a-z0-9_]* This generally means that register names will be surrounded by whitespace. Examples: l idx s temp L index S temp2 < do_thing Also note that, unlike the FreeBSD dc, extended registers are not even parsed unless the "-x" option is given. Instead, the space after a command that requires a register name is taken as the register name. Options: {{ A H N HN }} -E seed --seed=seed Sets the builtin variable seed to the given value assuming that the given value is in base 10. It is a fatal error if the given value is not a valid number. {{ end }} -e expr --expression=expr Run "expr" and quit. If multiple expressions or files (see below) are given, they are all run. After running, dc will exit. -f file --file=file Run the dc code in "file" and exit. See above. -h --help Print this usage message and exit. -I ibase --ibase=ibase Sets the builtin variable ibase to the given value assuming that the given value is in base 10. It is a fatal error if the given value is not a valid number. -i --interactive Put dc into interactive mode. See the man page for more details. -L --no-line-length Disable line length checking. -O obase --obase=obase Sets the builtin variable obase to the given value assuming that the given value is in base 10. It is a fatal error if the given value is not a valid number. -P --no-prompt Disable the prompts in interactive mode. -R --no-read-prompt Disable the read prompt in interactive mode. -S scale --scale=scale Sets the builtin variable scale to the given value assuming that the given value is in base 10. It is a fatal error if the given value is not a valid number. -V --version Print version and copyright and exit. -x --extended-register Enable extended register mode. -z --leading-zeroes Enable leading zeroes on numbers greater than -1 and less than 1. Environment variables: DC_ENV_ARGS Command-line arguments to use on every run. DC_LINE_LENGTH If an integer, the number of characters to print on a line before wrapping. Using 0 will disable line length checking. DC_SIGINT_RESET If an integer and non-zero, reset on SIGINT, rather than exit, when in interactive mode. Overrides the default, which is %s. DC_TTY_MODE If an integer and non-zero, enable TTY mode when it is available. Overrides the default, which is TTY mode %s. DC_PROMPT If an integer and non-zero, enable prompt when TTY mode is possible. Overrides the default, which is prompt %s. DC_EXPR_EXIT If an integer and non-zero, exit when expressions or expression files are given on the command-line, and does not exit when an integer and zero. Overrides the default, which is %s.
