\section fish fish - the friendly interactive shell

\subsection fish-synopsis Synopsis
fish [-h] [-v] [-c command] [FILE [ARGUMENTS...]]

\subsection fish-description Description

\c fish is a command-line shell written mainly with interactive use in mind. The
full manual is available <a href='index.html'>in HTML</a> by using the
<a href='#help'>help</a> command from inside fish.

The following options are available:

- <code>-c</code> or <code>--command=COMMANDS</code> evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline
- <code>-d</code> or <code>--debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL</code> specify the verbosity level of fish. A higher number means higher verbosity. The default level is 1.
- <code>-h</code> or <code>--help</code> display help and exit
- <code>-i</code> or <code>--interactive</code> specify that fish is to run in interactive mode
- <code>-l</code> or <code>--login</code> specify that fish is to run as a login shell
- <code>-n</code> or <code>--no-execute</code> do not execute any commands, only perform syntax checking
- <code>-p</code> or <code>--profile=PROFILE_FILE</code> when fish exits, output timing information on all executed commands to the specified file
- <code>-v</code> or <code>--version</code> display version and exit

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.
