Appendix B<br />
Commands-Only <strong>Prism</strong><br />
............... - --... -ii--------i-ii<br />
You can run <strong>Prism</strong> in a commands-only mode, without the graphical interface.<br />
This is useful if you don't have access to a terminal or workstation running X.<br />
All <strong>Prism</strong> functionality is available in commands-only mode except features that<br />
require graphics (for example, visualizers). This appendix provides an overview<br />
of commands-only <strong>Prism</strong>. For further information on individual commands, read<br />
the sections of the main body of this guide dealing with the commands, and read<br />
the reference descriptions in the <strong>Prism</strong> Reference Manual.<br />
B.1 Specifying the Commands-Only Option<br />
To enter commands-only mode, specify the -c option on the prism command<br />
line. You can also include other arguments on the command line; for example,<br />
you can specify the name of a program so that <strong>Prism</strong> comes up with that program<br />
loaded. X toolldt options are, of course, meaningless. See Section 2.2.2 for more<br />
information on command-line options.<br />
When you have issued the command, you receive this prompt:<br />
(prism)<br />
You can issue. most <strong>Prism</strong> commands at this prompt, except for commands that<br />
apply specifically to the graphical interface; these include pushbutton, tearoff,<br />
and untearoff.<br />
