\chapter{The \Coq~commands}\label{Addoc-coqc}
\ttindex{coqtop}
\ttindex{coqc}
There are two \Coq~commands:
\begin{itemize}
\item {\tt coqtop}: The \Coq\ toplevel (interactive mode) ;
\item {\tt coqc} : The \Coq\ compiler (batch compilation).
\end{itemize}
The options are (basically) the same for the 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 Objective Caml provides a native-code compiler
for your platform, which is supposed in the following). When invoking
\verb!coqtop! or \verb!coqc!, the native-code version of the system is
used. The command-line options \verb!-byte! and \verb!-opt! explicitly
select the byte-code and the native-code versions, respectively.
The byte-code toplevel is based on a Caml
toplevel (to allow the dynamic link of tactics). You can switch to
the Caml toplevel with the command \verb!Drop.!, and come back to the
\Coq~toplevel with the command \verb!Toplevel.loop();;!.
% The command \verb!coqtop -searchisos! runs the search tool {\sf
% Coq\_SearchIsos} (see section~\ref{coqsearchisos},
% page~\pageref{coqsearchisos}) and, as the \Coq~system, can be combined
% with the option \verb!-opt!.
\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} must be a regular {\Coq} identifier, as
defined in the section \ref{lexical}. It
must only contain letters, digits or underscores
(\_). Thus it can be \verb+/bar/foo/toto.v+ but cannot be
\verb+/bar/foo/to-to.v+ .
Notice that the \verb!-byte! and \verb!-opt! options are still
available with \verb!coqc! and allow you to select the byte-code or
native-code versions of the system.
\section{Resource file}
\index{Resource file}
When \Coq\ is launched, with either {\tt coqtop} or {\tt coqc}, the
resource file \verb:$HOME/.coqrc.7.0: is loaded, where \verb:$HOME: is
the home directory of the user. If this file is not found, then the
file \verb:$HOME/.coqrc: is searched. You can also specify an
arbitrary name for the resource file (see option \verb:-init-file:
below), or the name of another user to load the resource file of
someone else (see option \verb:-user:).
This file may contain, for instance, \verb:Add LoadPath: commands to add
directories to the load path of \Coq.
It is possible to skip the loading of the resource file with the
option \verb:-q:.
\section{Environment variables}
\label{EnvVariables}
\index{Environment variables}
There are three environment variables used by the \Coq\ system.
\verb:$COQBIN: for the directory where the binaries are,
\verb:$COQLIB: for the directory whrer the standard library is, and
\verb:$COQTOP: for the directory of the sources. The latter is useful
only for developers that are writing their own tactics and are using
\texttt{coq\_makefile} (see \ref{Makefile}). If \verb:$COQBIN: or
\verb:$COQLIB: are not defined, \Coq\ will use the default values
(defined at installation time). So these variables are useful only if
you move the \Coq\ binaries and library after installation.
\section{Options}
\index{Options of the command line}
The following command-line options are recognized by the commands {\tt
coqc} and {\tt coqtop}, unless stated otherwise:
\begin{description}
\item[{\tt -byte}]\
Run the byte-code version of \Coq{}.
\item[{\tt -opt}]\
Run the native-code version of \Coq{}.
\item[{\tt -I} {\em directory}, {\tt -include} {\em directory}]\
Add {\em directory} to the searched directories when looking for a
file.
\item[{\tt -R} {\em directory} {\dirpath}]\
This maps the subdirectory structure of physical {\em directory} to
logical {\dirpath} and adds {\em directory} and its subdirectories
to the searched directories when looking for a file.
\item[{\tt -top} {\dirpath}]\
This sets the toplevel module name to {\dirpath} instead of {\tt
Top}. Not valid for {\tt coqc}.
\item[{\tt -is} {\em file}, {\tt -inputstate} {\em file}]\
Cause \Coq~to use the state put in the file {\em file} as its input
state. The default state is {\em initial.coq}.
Mainly useful to build the standard input state.
\item[{\tt -outputstate} {\em file}]\
Cause \Coq~to dump its state to file {\em file}.coq just after finishing
parsing and evaluating all the arguments from the command line.
\item[{\tt -nois}]\
Cause \Coq~to begin with an empty state. Mainly useful to build the
standard input state.
%Obsolete?
%
%\item[{\tt -notactics}]\
%
% Forbid the dynamic loading of tactics in the bytecode version of {\Coq}.
\item[{\tt -init-file} {\em file}]\
Take {\em file} as the resource file.
\item[{\tt -q}]\
Cause \Coq~not to load the resource file.
\item[{\tt -user} {\em username}]\
Take resource file of user {\em username} (that is
\verb+~+{\em username}{\tt /.coqrc.7.0}) instead of yours.
\item[{\tt -load-ml-source} {\em file}]\
Load the Caml source file {\em file}.
\item[{\tt -load-ml-object} {\em file}]\
Load the Caml object file {\em file}.
\item[{\tt -l} {\em file}, {\tt -load-vernac-source} {\em file}]\
Load \Coq~file {\em file}{\tt .v}
\item[{\tt -lv} {\em file}, {\tt -load-vernac-source-verbose} {\em file}]\
Load \Coq~file {\em file}{\tt .v} with
a copy of the contents of the file on standard input.
\item[{\tt -load-vernac-object} {\em file}]\
Load \Coq~compiled file {\em file}{\tt .vo}
%\item[{\tt -preload} {\em file}]\ \\
%Add {\em file}{\tt .vo} to the files to be loaded and opened
%before making the initial state.
%
\item[{\tt -require} {\em file}]\
Load \Coq~compiled file {\em file}{\tt .vo} and import it ({\tt
Require} {\em file}).
\item[{\tt -compile} {\em file}]\
This compiles file {\em file}{\tt .v} into {\em file}{\tt .vo}.
This option implies options {\tt -batch} and {\tt -silent}. It is
only available for {\tt coqtop}.
\item[{\tt -compile-verbose} {\em file}]\
This compiles file {\em file}{\tt .v} into {\em file}{\tt .vo} with
a copy of the contents of the file on standard input.
This option implies options {\tt -batch} and {\tt -silent}. It is
only available for {\tt coqtop}.
\item[{\tt -verbose}]\
This option is only for {\tt coqc}. It tells to compile the file with
a copy of its contents on standard input.
\item[{\tt -batch}]\
Batch mode : exit just after arguments parsing. This option is only
used by {\tt coqc}.
%Mostly unused in the code
%\item[{\tt -debug}]\
%
% Switch on the debug flag.
\item[{\tt -xml}]\
This option is for use with {\tt coqc}. It tells \Coq\ to export on
the standard output the content of the compiled file into XML format.
\item[{\tt -quality}]
Improve the legibility of the proof terms produced by some tactics.
\item[{\tt -emacs}]\
Tells \Coq\ it is executed under Emacs.
\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 -dump-glob} {\em file}]\
This dumps references for global names in file {\em file}
(to be used by coqdoc, see~\ref{coqdoc})
\item[{\tt -dont-load-proofs}]\
This avoids loading in memory the proofs of opaque theorems
resulting in a smaller memory requirement and faster compilation;
warning: this invalidates some features such as the extraction tool.
\item[{\tt -image} {\em file}]\
This option sets the binary image to be used to be {\em file}
instead of the standard one. Not of general use.
\item[{\tt -bindir} {\em directory}]\
Set for {\tt coqc} the directory containing \Coq\ binaries.
It is equivalent to do \texttt{export COQBIN=}{\em directory}
before lauching {\tt coqc}.
\item[{\tt -where}]\
Print the \Coq's standard library location and exit.
\item[{\tt -v}]\
Print the \Coq's version and exit.
\item[{\tt -h}, {\tt --help}]\
Print a short usage and exit.
\end{description}
% {\tt coqtop} has an additional option:
% \begin{description}
% \item[{\tt -searchisos}]\ \\
% Launch the {\sf Coq\_SearchIsos} toplevel
% (see section~\ref{coqsearchisos}, page~\pageref{coqsearchisos}).
