NAME

       bsh - BeanShell: A Java scripting environment (command-line version).

SYNOPSIS

       bsh [-classpath path] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       BeanShell  is  a  small,  embeddable,  Java  source  interpreter with object scripting language features,
       written in Java. BeanShell executes standard Java statements and  expressions,  in  addition  to  obvious
       scripting  commands  and syntax. You can also script objects as simple method closures like those in Perl
       and JavaScript(tm).

       bsh starts the command-line version of BeanShell.

OPTIONS

       The program bsh optionally takes a -classpath option which sets the value of  the  CLASSPATH  environment
       variable  to  the  specified  path  before  starting  the  BeanShell.  This option is mainly provided for
       compatibility with JDE (Java Development Environment for Emacs).

       In addition, a file to be executed may be given as argument to bsh.

SEE ALSO

       xbsh - the windowed version of BeanShell.

       More documentation on BeanShell can be  found  in  /usr/share/doc/bsh-doc/  if  the  bsh-doc  package  is
       installed.
