Invoking DhG2

To invoke DhG2, type the command and its optional arguments at your shell’s command prompt.

Usage: /path/to/DhG2/DhG_Shell.py [options] [script-file …]

The options are single letters preceded by a hyphen or single words preceded by two hyphens. If you use the single-letter variant you can group the options after a single hyphen. Example: -qe

The program accepts options and parameters as described below:

• -h or –help

  If invoked with this option, DhG2 prints information about invoking the program and then closes.

• -v or –version

  If invoked with this option, DhG2 prints the version and then closes.

• -q or –quiet

  If invoked with this option, DhG2 does not print any information messages when it starts.

• -s or –silent

  If invoked with this option, DhG2 does not print any information messages when it starts and also does not print a prompt. This is useful for automatic scripting.

• -e or –exit

  If invoked with this option, DhG2 closes after loading the database and executing the script files.

• -c <cfgfile> or –config=<cfgfile>

  If invoked with this option, DhG2 uses the specified configuration instead of the default ~/.DhG/config. If you use this option more than once, DhG2 uses the last one.

The -e and –exit options and the script-file arguments are currently ignored.
