\subsection fish-description Description

`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:

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