NAME

squeak --- Squeak computer authoring system

SYNOPSIS

squeak [-install | -list | -l | -run ] [-image filename]
[-verbose | -v ] [vm options] [-- image options]

squeak [filename]

DESCRIPTION

The squeak command starts Squeak, a computer authoring system. No arguments are necessary; typing squeak alone should initialize any files you need in the current directory and then start Squeak.

Squeak uses a few files in the current directory. The file squeak.image holds the objects representing the entire state of your world, including things such as open windows, a class hierarchy, textual notes, prototype objects, and diagrams. The file squeak.changes holds a log of any program code you have written. Finally, SqueakV*.sources files are symbolic links to system-wide files holding program code that is common to all Squeak worlds.

OPTIONS

filename

 
-install
Run Squeak, but first initialize the present directory if there are files missing. If there is a choice of images to install, then choose automatically. No files will be overwritten. This option gives the default behavior.
 
-l
-list
Behave as if -install were specified, except that if an image file is to be installed, let the user choose from a list which image to install.
 
-run
Do not install any files. Either run Squeak, or fail.
 
-image filename
Instead of using squeak.image to save the state of the world, use filename. Specifying the .image extension on filename is optional. The name of the changes file to use will be determined automatically.
 
-v
-verbose
Explain what files are being installed.
 
vm options
Any unrecognized options are passed directly to squeakvm.
 
-- image options
Any options following a double-hyphen are passed to the Squeak world as it resumes. By convention, many worlds treat the first such option as the name of a file to load and execute.
 

ENVIRONMENT

SQUEAKVM
The command to use for the virtual machine. The default is the first squeakvm in PATH.
 
SQUEAK_IMAGE_DIR
The directory holding available Squeak images to install. The default is /usr/share/squeak.
 
SQUEAK_IMAGE
The filename of the image to run. The default is squeak.image.
 

FILES

/usr/share/squeak/*.image
/usr/share/squeak/*.changes
Image and changes files that may be installed. They may also be compressed with gzip(1) or bzip2(1), so long as an extension of .gz or .bz2 is added.
 
/usr/share/squeak/squeak.image
/usr/share/squeak/squeak.changes
The default image and changes files to install. Typically these are symbolic links. If they are links to compressed files, then they should have .gz or .bz2 extensions matching the files they link to.
 
/usr/share/squeak/SqueakV?.sources
Source files.
 

For convenience, an image may also be specified as the first argument. That is, the commandline squeak filename args is treated the same as squeak -run -image filename args.
