NAME

       execlineb - command launcher for execline scripts

SYNOPSIS

       execlineb [ -p | -P | -S nmin | -s nmin ] [ -q | -w | -W ] [ -c commandline ] script args

OPTIONS

       -c commandline
              execute commandline, do not look for a file.

   Options for environment management
       -p     will  bypass  the push phase: the current frame of positional parameters will be overwritten.  The
              script will not be reentrant

       -P     will bypass positional parameter handling completely: the environment  will  not  be  pushed,  and
              positional  parameters  will  be  ignored.   execlineb  -P  -c 'script' is equivalent to, but more
              efficient than, execlineb -c 'emptyenv  -P  script'.   You  should  use  the  -P  option  only  in
              standalone scripts that take no arguments, such as s6's or runit's run scripts.

       -S nmin
              will  substitute  the  positional  parameters  -  up  to at least nmin - but will not push nor set
              environment variables.  execlineb -S3 -c 'script' is  equivalent  to,  but  more  efficient  than,
              execlineb -c 'elgetpositionals -P3 emptyenv -P script'.

       -s nmin
              behaves  just  like the -S option, except that it defines $@ as the rest of the command line after
              nmin arguments have been removed.

   Options for block syntax checking
       External execline commands that  read  blocks,  like  foreground,  use  the  EXECLINE_STRICT  environment
       variable.

       Normally  the EXECLINE_STRICT environment variable is inherited from the caller.  You can force it unset,
       set to 1, or set to 2 by giving respectively the -q, -w or -W option to execlineb.

       -q     same as EXECLINE_STRICT is unset.

              They won't complain at all.

       -w     same as EXECLINE_STRICT is set to 1.

              They will print a warning message on stderr if they find their blocks not to be properly quoted.

       -W     same as EXECLINE_STRICT is set to 2.

              They will also die.

NOTES

       On Debian GNU/Linux system, all binaries from execline package are installed in /usr/lib/execline/bin/.

       For convenience, a script is provided as /usr/bin/execlineb, which adds  /usr/lib/execline/bin/  to  PATH
       when invoked.
