- _I_x_r_u_n makes it possible to run AmigaOS scripts from
- /bin/sh or from other Unix programs. The _i_x_e_m_u_l_._l_i_b_r_a_r_y
- uses the first line of a file to find out to which program
- it should feed the file. Normally this is _/_b_i_n_/_s_h, but
- you can use any program you want. Shell scripts usually
- start with ##!!//bbiinn//sshh. Unfortunately, AmigaOS scripts use
- a semi-colon to start a comment, not the ##-sign. However,
- the _i_x_e_m_u_l_._l_i_b_r_a_r_y also accepts ;;!!. So one would expect
- that starting a script with ;;!!//cc//eexxeeccuuttee would work. But
- it doesn't. First of all, _c_:_e_x_e_c_u_t_e does some weird things
- that prevent us from using this possibility. Secondly,
- AmigaOS won't recognize the ..kkeeyy sequence unless it is at
- the beginning of the script. To work around this second
- problem, the _i_x_e_m_u_l_._l_i_b_r_a_r_y skips the first line of the
- script if it starts with ..kkeeyy. So you should put the ;;!!
- sequence at the second line instead. If you _d_o_n_'_t use
- ..kkeeyy, then you should put the ;;!! sequence at the begin-
- ning of the script as usual.
-
- To work around the first problem I wrote _i_x_r_u_n, a small
- utility to replace _c_:_e_x_e_c_u_t_e. Just start an AmigaOS
- script with ;;!!//bbiinn//iixxrruunn (possibly preceeded by the ..kkeeyy
- line) and you can now run it from within _/_b_i_n_/_s_h or any
- other Unix program.

- --nn Don't put quotes around the arguments.
-
- --qq Put quotes around every argument that you pass to
- your script. This is the default. _i_x_r_u_n builds a
- command line which starts with the filename of the
- script (the ffiilleennaammee argument) followed by the
- other arguments passed to _i_x_r_u_n. This command line
- is executed by calling the _d_o_s_._l_i_b_r_a_r_y function
- _E_x_e_c_u_t_e. That is, iixxrruunn ssccrriipptt ""HHeelllloo wwoorrlldd"" will
- execute ssccrriipptt ""HHeelllloo wwoorrlldd"", as one would expect.
- But iixxrruunn --nn ssccrriipptt ""HHeelllloo wwoorrlldd"" will execute
- ssccrriipptt HHeelllloo wwoorrlldd. That is, the single argument
- HHeelllloo wwoorrlldd has been split into two. So take care.
-
- --qqvv Debugging: show the command line that should be
- executed if the option --qq was used, without actu-
- ally executing it.
-
- --nnvv Debugging: show the command line that should be
- executed if the option --nn was used, without actu-
- ally executing it.
