-\chapter[The \Coq~commands]{The \Coq~commands\label{Addoc-coqc}
-\ttindex{coqtop}
-\ttindex{coqc}
-\ttindex{coqchk}}
-%HEVEA\cutname{commands.html}
-
-There are three \Coq~commands:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item {\tt coqtop}: the \Coq\ toplevel (interactive mode);
-\item {\tt coqc}: the \Coq\ compiler (batch compilation);
-\item {\tt coqchk}: the \Coq\ checker (validation of compiled libraries).
-\end{itemize}
-The options are (basically) the same for the first two commands, and
-roughly described below. You can also look at the \verb!man! pages of
-\verb!coqtop! and \verb!coqc! for more details.
-
-
-\section{Interactive use ({\tt coqtop})}
-
-In the interactive mode, also known as the \Coq~toplevel, the user can
-develop his theories and proofs step by step. The \Coq~toplevel is
-run by the command {\tt coqtop}.
-
-\index{byte-code}
-\index{native code}
-\label{binary-images}
-They are two different binary images of \Coq: the byte-code one and
-the native-code one (if {\ocaml} provides a native-code compiler
-for your platform, which is supposed in the following). By default,
-\verb!coqtop! executes the native-code version; run \verb!coqtop.byte! to
-get the byte-code version.
-
-The byte-code toplevel is based on an {\ocaml}
-toplevel (to allow the dynamic link of tactics). You can switch to
-the {\ocaml} toplevel with the command \verb!Drop.!, and come back to the
-\Coq~toplevel with the command \verb!Coqloop.loop();;!.
-
-\section{Batch compilation ({\tt coqc})}
-The {\tt coqc} command takes a name {\em file} as argument. Then it
-looks for a vernacular file named {\em file}{\tt .v}, and tries to
-compile it into a {\em file}{\tt .vo} file (See ~\ref{compiled}).
-
-\Warning The name {\em file} should be a regular {\Coq} identifier, as
-defined in Section~\ref{lexical}. It should contain only letters, digits
-or underscores (\_). For instance, \verb+/bar/foo/toto.v+ is valid, but
-\verb+/bar/foo/to-to.v+ is invalid.
-
-\section[Customization]{Customization at launch time}
-
-\subsection{By resource file\index{Resource file}}
-
-When \Coq\ is launched, with either {\tt coqtop} or {\tt coqc}, the
-resource file \verb:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/coq/coqrc.xxx: is loaded, where
-\verb:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME: is the configuration directory of the user (by
-default its home directory \verb!/.config! and \verb:xxx: is the version
-number (e.g. 8.3). If this file is not found, then the file
-\verb:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/coqrc: is searched. You can also specify an
-arbitrary name for the resource file (see option \verb:-init-file:
-below).
-
-
-This file may contain, for instance, \verb:Add LoadPath: commands to add
-directories to the load path of \Coq.
-It is possible to skip the loading of the resource file with the
-option \verb:-q:.
-
-\subsection{By environment variables\label{EnvVariables}
-\index{Environment variables}\label{envars}}
-
-Load path can be specified to the \Coq\ system by setting up
-\verb:$COQPATH: environment variable. It is a list of directories
-separated by \verb|:| (\verb|;| on windows). {\Coq} will also honor
-\verb:$XDG_DATA_HOME: and \verb:$XDG_DATA_DIRS: (see Section
-\ref{loadpath}).
-
-Some {\Coq} commands call other {\Coq} commands. In this case, they
-look for the commands in directory specified by \verb:$COQBIN:. If
-this variable is not set, they look for the commands in the executable
-path.
-
-The \verb:$COQ_COLORS: environment variable can be used to specify the set of
-colors used by {\tt coqtop} to highlight its output. It uses the same syntax as
-the \verb:$LS_COLORS: variable from GNU's {\tt ls}, that is, a colon-separated
-list of assignments of the form \verb:name=attr1;...;attrn: where {\tt name} is
-the name of the corresponding highlight tag and {\tt attri} is an ANSI escape
-code. The list of highlight tags can be retrieved with the {\tt -list-tags}
-command-line option of {\tt coqtop}.
-
-\subsection{By command line options\index{Options of the command line}
-\label{coqoptions}}
-
-The following command-line options are recognized by the commands {\tt
- coqc} and {\tt coqtop}, unless stated otherwise:
-
-\begin{description}
-\item[{\tt -I} {\em directory}, {\tt -include} {\em directory}]\ %
-
- Add physical path {\em directory} to the {\ocaml} loadpath.
-
- \SeeAlso Section~\ref{Libraries} and the command {\tt Declare ML Module} Section \ref{compiled}.
-
-\item[{\tt -Q} {\em directory} {\dirpath}]\ %
-
- Add physical path \emph{directory} to the list of directories where
- {\Coq} looks for a file and bind it to the the logical directory
- \emph{dirpath}. The subdirectory structure of \emph{directory} is
- recursively available from {\Coq} using absolute names (extending
- the {\dirpath} prefix) (see Section~\ref{LongNames}).
-
- Note that only those subdirectories and files which obey the lexical
- conventions of what is an {\ident} (see Section~\ref{lexical})
- are taken into account. Conversely, the underlying file systems or
- operating systems may be more restrictive than {\Coq}. While Linux's
- ext4 file system supports any {\Coq} recursive layout
- (within the limit of 255 bytes per file name), the default on NTFS
- (Windows) or HFS+ (MacOS X) file systems is on the contrary to
- disallow two files differing only in the case in the same directory.
-
- \SeeAlso Section~\ref{Libraries}.
-
-\item[{\tt -R} {\em directory} {\dirpath}]\ %
-
- Do as \texttt{-Q} \emph{directory} {\dirpath} but make the
- subdirectory structure of \emph{directory} recursively visible so
- that the recursive contents of physical \emph{directory} is available
- from {\Coq} using short or partially qualified names.
-
- \SeeAlso Section~\ref{Libraries}.
-
-\item[{\tt -top} {\dirpath}]\ %
-
- Set the toplevel module name to {\dirpath} instead of {\tt Top}. Not
- valid for {\tt coqc} as the toplevel module name is inferred from the
- name of the output file.
-
-\item[{\tt -exclude-dir} {\em directory}]\ %
-
- Exclude any subdirectory named {\em directory} while
- processing options such as {\tt -R} and {\tt -Q}. By default, only the
- conventional version control management directories named {\tt CVS} and
- {\tt \_darcs} are excluded.
-
-\item[{\tt -nois}]\ %
-
- Start from an empty state instead of loading the {\tt Init.Prelude}
- module.
-
-\item[{\tt -init-file} {\em file}]\ %
-
- Load {\em file} as the resource file instead of loading the default
- resource file from the standard configuration directories.
-
-\item[{\tt -q}]\ %
-
- Do not to load the default resource file.
-
-\item[{\tt -load-ml-source} {\em file}]\ %
-
- Load the {\ocaml} source file {\em file}.
-
-\item[{\tt -load-ml-object} {\em file}]\ %
-
- Load the {\ocaml} object file {\em file}.
-
-\item[{\tt -l} {\em file}, {\tt -load-vernac-source} {\em file}]\ %
-
- Load and execute the {\Coq} script from {\em file.v}.
-
-\item[{\tt -lv} {\em file}, {\tt -load-vernac-source-verbose} {\em
- file}]\ %
-
- Load and execute the {\Coq} script from {\em file.v}.
- Output its content on the standard input as it is executed.
-
-\item[{\tt -load-vernac-object} {\dirpath}]\ %
-
- Load \Coq~compiled library {\dirpath}. This is equivalent to running
- {\tt Require} {\dirpath}.
-
-\item[{\tt -require} {\dirpath}]\ %
-
- Load \Coq~compiled library {\dirpath} and import it. This is equivalent
- to running {\tt Require Import} {\dirpath}.
-
-\item[{\tt -batch}]\ %
-
- Exit just after argument parsing. Available for {\tt coqtop} only.
-
-\item[{\tt -compile} {\em file.v}]\ %
-
- Compile file {\em file.v} into {\em file.vo}. This options imply {\tt
- -batch} (exit just after argument parsing). It is available only
- for {\tt coqtop}, as this behavior is the purpose of {\tt coqc}.
-
-\item[{\tt -compile-verbose} {\em file.v}]\ %
-
- Same as {\tt -compile} but also output the content of {\em file.v} as
- it is compiled.
-
-\item[{\tt -verbose}]\ %
-
- Output the content of the input file as it is compiled. This option is
- available for {\tt coqc} only; it is the counterpart of {\tt
- -compile-verbose}.
-
- \item[{\tt -w} (all|none|w$_1$,\ldots,w$_n$)]\ %
-
- Configure the display of warnings. This option expects {\tt all}, {\tt none}
- or a comma-separated list of warning names or categories (see
- Section~\ref{SetWarnings}).
-
-%Mostly unused in the code
-%\item[{\tt -debug}]\ %
-%
-% Switch on the debug flag.
-
-\item[{\tt -color} (on|off|auto)]\ %
-
- Enable or not the coloring of output of {\tt coqtop}. Default is auto,
- meaning that {\tt coqtop} dynamically decides, depending on whether the
- output channel supports ANSI escape sequences.
-
-\item[{\tt -beautify}]\ %
-
- Pretty-print each command to {\em file.beautified} when compiling {\em
- file.v}, in order to get old-fashioned syntax/definitions/notations.
-
-\item[{\tt -emacs}, {\tt -ide-slave}]\ %
-
- Start a special toplevel to communicate with a specific IDE.
-
-\item[{\tt -impredicative-set}]\ %
-
- Change the logical theory of {\Coq} by declaring the sort {\tt Set}
- impredicative. Warning: this is known to be inconsistent with
- some standard axioms of classical mathematics such as the functional
- axiom of choice or the principle of description.
-
-\item[{\tt -type-in-type}]\ %
-
- Collapse the universe hierarchy of {\Coq}. Warning: this makes the
- logic inconsistent.
-
-\item[{\tt -mangle-names} {\em ident}]\ %
-
- Experimental: Do not depend on this option.
-
- Replace Coq's auto-generated name scheme with names of the form
- {\tt ident0}, {\tt ident1}, \ldots etc.
- The command {\tt Set Mangle Names}\optindex{Mangle Names} turns
- the behavior on in a document, and {\tt Set Mangle Names Prefix "ident"}
- \optindex{Mangle Names Prefix} changes the used prefix.
-
- This feature is intended to be used as a linter for developments that want
- to be robust to changes in the auto-generated name scheme. The options are
- provided to facilitate tracking down problems.
-
-\item[{\tt -compat} {\em version}]\ %
-
- Attempt to maintain some backward-compatibility with a previous version.
-
-\item[{\tt -dump-glob} {\em file}]\ %
-
- Dump references for global names in file {\em file} (to be used
- by {\tt coqdoc}, see~\ref{coqdoc}). By default, if {\em file.v} is being
- compiled, {\em file.glob} is used.
-
-\item[{\tt -no-glob}]\ %
-
- Disable the dumping of references for global names.
-
-%\item[{\tt -no-hash-consing}]\ %
-
-\item[{\tt -image} {\em file}]\ %
-
- Set the binary image to be used by {\tt coqc} to be {\em file}
- instead of the standard one. Not of general use.
-
-\item[{\tt -bindir} {\em directory}]\ %
-
- Set the directory containing {\Coq} binaries to be used by {\tt coqc}.
- It is equivalent to doing \texttt{export COQBIN=}{\em directory} before
- launching {\tt coqc}.
-
-\item[{\tt -where}]\ %
-
- Print the location of \Coq's standard library and exit.
-
-\item[{\tt -config}]\ %
-
- Print the locations of \Coq's binaries, dependencies, and libraries, then exit.
-
-\item[{\tt -filteropts}]\ %
-
- Print the list of command line arguments that {\tt coqtop} has
- recognized as options and exit.
-
-\item[{\tt -v}]\ %
-
- Print \Coq's version and exit.
-
-\item[{\tt -list-tags}]\ %
-
- Print the highlight tags known by {\Coq} as well as their currently associated
- color and exit.

-\section{Compiled libraries checker ({\tt coqchk})}
-
-The {\tt coqchk} command takes a list of library paths as argument, described
-either by their logical name or by their physical filename, which must end in
-{\tt .vo}. The corresponding compiled libraries (.vo files) are searched in the
-path, recursively processing the libraries they depend on. The content
-of all these libraries is then type-checked. The effect of {\tt
- coqchk} is only to return with normal exit code in case of success,
-and with positive exit code if an error has been found. Error messages
-are not deemed to help the user understand what is wrong. In the
-current version, it does not modify the compiled libraries to mark
-them as successfully checked.
-
-Note that non-logical information is not checked. By logical
-information, we mean the type and optional body associated to names.
-It excludes for instance anything related to the concrete syntax of
-objects (customized syntax rules, association between short and long
-names), implicit arguments, etc.
-
-This tool can be used for several purposes. One is to check that a
-compiled library provided by a third-party has not been forged and
-that loading it cannot introduce inconsistencies.\footnote{Ill-formed
- non-logical information might for instance bind {\tt
- Coq.Init.Logic.True} to short name {\tt False}, so apparently {\tt
- False} is inhabited, but using fully qualified names, {\tt
- Coq.Init.Logic.False} will always refer to the absurd proposition,
- what we guarantee is that there is no proof of this latter
- constant.}
-Another point is to get an even higher level of security. Since {\tt
- coqtop} can be extended with custom tactics, possibly ill-typed
-code, it cannot be guaranteed that the produced compiled libraries are
-correct. {\tt coqchk} is a standalone verifier, and thus it cannot be
-tainted by such malicious code.
-
-Command-line options {\tt -Q}, {\tt -R}, {\tt -where} and
-{\tt -impredicative-set} are supported by {\tt coqchk} and have the
-same meaning as for {\tt coqtop}. As there is no notion of relative paths in
-object files {\tt -Q} and {\tt -R} have exactly the same meaning.
-
-Extra options are:
-\begin{description}
-\item[{\tt -norec} {\em module}]\ %
-
- Check {\em module} but do not check its dependencies.
-
-\item[{\tt -admit} {\em module}]\ %
-
- Do not check {\em module} and any of its dependencies, unless
- explicitly required.
-
-\item[{\tt -o}]\ %
-
- At exit, print a summary about the context. List the names of all
- assumptions and variables (constants without body).
-
-\item[{\tt -silent}]\ %
-
- Do not write progress information in standard output.
-\end{description}
-
-Environment variable \verb:$COQLIB: can be set to override the
-location of the standard library.
-
-The algorithm for deciding which modules are checked or admitted is
-the following: assuming that {\tt coqchk} is called with argument $M$,
-option {\tt -norec} $N$, and {\tt -admit} $A$. Let us write
-$\overline{S}$ the set of reflexive transitive dependencies of set
-$S$. Then:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item Modules $C=\overline{M}\backslash\overline{A}\cup M\cup N$ are
- loaded and type-checked before being added to the context.
-\item And $\overline{M}\cup\overline{N}\backslash C$ is the set of
- modules that are loaded and added to the context without
- type-checking. Basic integrity checks (checksums) are nonetheless
- performed.
-\end{itemize}
-
-As a rule of thumb, the {\tt -admit} can be used to tell that some
-libraries have already been checked. So {\tt coqchk A B} can be split
-in {\tt coqchk A \&\& coqchk B -admit A} without type-checking any
-definition twice. Of course, the latter is slightly slower since it
-makes more disk access. It is also less secure since an attacker might
-have replaced the compiled library $A$ after it has been read by the
-first command, but before it has been read by the second command.
