hconsole
HCONSOLE(1) Hatari utilities HCONSOLE(1)
NAME
hconsole - Interactive Python console for using Hatari's remote API
SYNOPSIS
hconsole.py [[consoleoptions] [commandfile] --] [hatarioptions]
DESCRIPTION
Hconsole is a Python script that invokes Hatari and then provides an interactive shell (with full readline editing capabilities) for exe-
cuting Hatari remote API commands.
It can be useful for first exploring Hatari's remote API usage interactively and then writing scripts that somehow automate your Hatari
usage. They can invoke hconsole functionality simply by doing "import hconsole" and calling appropriate methods (see example.py coming
with hconsole).
USAGE
Normally hconsole forwards all of its arguments to Hatari instance it invoked. If you want to give arguments for hconsole itself, you
need to add '--' argument after the hconsole arguments and before the arguments going to Hatari.
If you give a file name as hconsole argument, commands in it will be read and executed through Hatari's remote API before you get into
hconsole interactive shell.
Hconsole accepts following options:
--exit Exit after starting Hatari and parsing arguments.
--help, -h
Show command line help.
EXAMPLES
Start Hatari with all of the given arguments:
hconsole.py --monitor mono -d test/
Start Hatari without extra arguments, execute commands from the given commands.txt file, exit after the file ends:
hconsole.py commands.txt --exit --
FILES
By default hconsole and its examples are installed under the /usr/share/hatari/hconsole/ directory.
