RUNGHC(1) General Commands Manual RUNGHC(1)NAME
runghc - program to run Haskell programs without first having to compile them.
SYNOPSIS
runghc [runghc|flags] [GHC|flags] module [program|flags]...
DESCRIPTION
runghc is considered a non-interactive interpreter and part of The Glasgow Haskell Compiler. runghc is a compiler that automatically runs
its results at the end.
OPTIONS
the flags are:
-f it tells runghc which GHC to use to run the program. If it is not given then runghc will search for GHC in the directories in the
system search path. runghc -f /path/to/ghc
-- runghc will try to work out where the boundaries between [runghc flags] and [GHC flags], and [GHC flags] and module are, but you can
use a -- flag if it doesn't get it right. For example, runghc -- -fglasgow-exts Foo means runghc won't try to use glasgow-exts as
the path to GHC, but instead will pass the flag to GHC.
EXAMPLES
runghc foo
runghc -f /path/to/ghc foo
runghc -- -fglasgow-exts Foo

ALEX(1) Alex Lexical Analyser Generator ALEX(1)NAME
alex - the lexical analyser generator for Haskell
SYNOPSIS
alex [OPTION]... file [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the alex command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it
has documentation in various other formats, including DVI, Info and HTML; see below.
Alex is a lexical analyser generator system for Haskell. It is similar to the tool lex or flex for C/C++.
Input files are expected to be of the form file.x and alex will produce output in file.y
Caveat: When using hbc (Chalmers Haskell) the command argument structure is slightly different. This is because the hbc run time system
takes some flags as its own (for setting things like the heap size, etc). This problem can be circumvented by adding a single dash (`-')
to your command line. So when using a hbc generated version of Alex, the argument structure is:
alex - [OPTION]... file [OPTION]...
OPTIONS
The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--'). A summary of options is included
below. For a complete description, see the other documentation.
-d, --debug
Instructs Alex to generate a lexer which will output debugging messsages as it runs.
-g, --ghc
Instructs Alex to generate a lexer which is optimised for compiling with GHC. The lexer will be significantly more efficient, both
in terms of the size of the compiled lexer and its runtime.
-o FILE, --outfile=FILE
Specifies the filename in which the output is to be placed. By default, this is the name of the input file with the .x suffix
replaced by .hs
-i [FILE], --info[=FILE]
Produces a human-readable rendition of the state machine (DFA) that Alex derives from the lexer, in FILE (default: file.info where
the input file is file.x ).
The format of the info file is currently a bit basic, and not particularly informative.
-v, --version
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
