I was trying to match the following printout from OTP R10B-2 against the documentation:
Usage: erl [-version]
[-sname NAME | -name NAME]
[-noshell]
[-noinput]
[-env VAR VALUE]
[-compile file ...]
[-make]
[-man [manopts] MANPAGE]
[-x]
[-emu_args]
[+i BOOT_MODULE]
[+b BOOT_FUN]
[+s STACK_SIZE]
[+h HEAP_SIZE]
[+# ITEMS]
[+P MAX_PROCS]
[+A THREADS]
[+R COMPAT_REL]
[+K BOOLEAN]
[+M<SUBSWITCH> <ARGUMENT>]
[args ...]
The flags above that I don't find documentation for are:
-x
+i BOOT_MODULE
+b BOOT_FUN
+s STACK_SIZE
+# ITEMS
(Does that mean that they are not supported?)
The following flags are, I guess, understood to be part of [args ...],
as they all appear in the erl(3) manual as supported:
-AppName Key Value
-boot File
-boot_var Var Directory [Var Directory]
-config Config
-connect_all false
-cookie
-detached
-eval Expr
-extra
-heart
-hidden
-hosts Hosts
-id Id
-instr
-loader Loader
-mode Mode
-nostick
-oldShell
-pa Directories
-pz Directories
-remsh Node
-rsh Program
-run Mod [Fun [Args]]
-s Mod [Fun [Args]]
-setcookie Cookie
+B [i]
+l
+v
+V
Were the five options (-x, +i, +b, +s, +#) left out on purpose?
Are there other flags supported by erl that were listed neither
in the help message nor in the manual?
I admit I haven't searched the erts source for answers.
I maintain that there should be a section in the documentation briefly
listing unsupported functions and options.
