Chapter 14. Erlang shell

Placeholder chapter.

Chapter 14. Erlang shell

Erlang.mk provides a convenient target for starting a shell +with all the paths set properly to experiment with your code.

14.1. Configuration

The SHELL_DEPS variable can be used to define dependencies +that are only to be used when the make shell command is called. +For example, if you want to use kjell as your shell:

SHELL_DEPS = kjell

Dependencies are downloaded and compiled the first time you +run the make shell command.

You can customize the executable used to start the Erlang shell. +To continue with our example, if you want to use kjell as your +shell, you also need to change SHELL_ERL and point it to the +kjell executable:

SHELL_ERL = $(DEPS_DIR)/kjell/bin/kjell

You can specify additional options to be used when starting the +shell using the SHELL_OPTS variable:

SHELL_OPTS = -setcookie chocolate

Any of the usual erl options can be used, including -eval:

SHELL_OPTS = -eval 'my_app:run()'

14.2. Usage

To start the shell, all you need is the following command:

$ make shell

The shell can be stopped as usual with a double Ctrl+C or the +command q()..
