ADEPYF(1)                   General Commands Manual                  ADEPYF(1)



NAME
       adepyf - call an ADE Python function

SYNOPSIS
       adepyf [ -V | --version ] [ -v | --verbose | -d level | --debug=level ]
       [ -h | --help ] [ -p | --paths ] [ -n | --simulate ] code

DESCRIPTION
       Adepyf provides a command line interface to  the  ADE  Python  library.
       code should return.

CONFIGURATION
       None.

OPTIONS
       -d level, --debug=level  Determines  how  verbose this program will be.
                                The message types displayed for the  different
                                values  of level are as follows: 0 displays no
                                messages; 1 displays only errors,  2  displays
                                errors  and warnings; 3 displays errors, warn-
                                ings and informational messages; higher values
                                display  errors,  warnings, informational mes-
                                sages and various messages intended for debug-
                                ging.  The default is 2.

       -h, --help               Displays a brief usage message.

       -p, --paths              Lists  the  compiled-in paths of various files
                                and directories that this program  uses.   -n,
                                --simulate  Some  external  commands that this
                                program runs may be displayed rather than  ac-
                                tually  executed.   BEWARE: different programs
                                implement different levels of  simulation;  so
                                this  option  may work perfectly; on the other
                                hand it may do nothing at all!

       -v, --verbose            Equivalent to -d 3.

       -V, --version            Prints the program's version number and exits.

EXIT STATUS
       On success adepyf returns zero. On failure it returns non-zero and dis-
       plays a diagnostic message.

FILES
       None.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       None.

EXAMPLES
       This  shows  how  to  call ADE functions (in this case to create a lock
       file and then remove it), handle their return codes and illustrates how
       to return from the code:

              adepyf 'import time; import ade; rc=ade.lck_lock(errstack, "/tmp/x.lock"); return rc if rc != ade.ok else [ print(time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")), time.sleep(10), print(time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")), ade.lck_unlock(errstack, "/tmp/x.lock")ade.ok ][-1]'

CAVEATS
       Python  uses indentation to group control-flow; therefore code may need
       to convoluted.  As such, adepyf is not terribly useful.
