       fish.

       o -c or --command=COMMANDS evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline

       o -d or --debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL specify the verbosity level of fish. A higher number means higher verbosity. The default level is 1.

       o -h or --help display help and exit

       o -i or --interactive specify that fish is to run in interactive mode

       o -l or --login specify that fish is to run as a login shell

       o -n or --no-execute do not execute any commands, only perform syntax checking

       The fish exit status is generally the exit status of the last foreground command. If fish is exiting because of a parse error, the exit
       status is 127.
