NAME¶

shp — Like PHP except you write your script in shell script

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

shp parses and executes SHP scripts in the manner of PHP, except nested scripts are written in shell scripting language instead of the PHP language. shp outputs its script file, with nested <?shp ... ?> blocks executed as shell scripts.

If no script is provided, standard input is read. Otherwise, any subsequent arguments are passed to the script.

To pass arguments to a standard input script, use `-' for script.

If the first line of the input script starts with a shebang (`#!'), it is ignored. This allows scripts to be made executable by putting #!/usr/bin/shp as the first line.

OPTIONS¶

--check

Just check the syntax of the script instead of executing it.

--dump

Just output the generated shell script instead of executing it.

--shell

Specify an alternate shell (the default is `/bin/bash -s').

--help

Display command line help.

--version

Display version and exit.

VERSION¶

This man page documents shp version 1.0.2.
