Starting Up

The simplest way to evaluate a Carapace script is to use the executable caracmd.exe -- this starts a basic command interpreter where you can type in your Carapace commands.

On startup, the global variable ::CommandLine is defined. This is a list of strings where the first entry is the name of the executable, and any subsequent command line arguments form the remainder of the list.

A script can be loaded on startup using either of the following methods:

• Every occurrence of the -load option is followed by the name of the script to load -- in this way, multiple scripts can be loaded at startup.
• If no -load options are supplied, then the final command line argument is taken as the name of the script to load.
