HCONSOLE(1)		       Hatari utilities			   HCONSOLE(1)

NAME
       hconsole - Interactive Python console for using Hatari's remote API

SYNOPSIS
       hconsole.py [[consoleoptions] [commandfile] --] [hatarioptions]

DESCRIPTION
       Hconsole	 is  a	Python script that invokes Hatari and then provides an
       interactive shell (with full readline editing capabilities) for execut‐
       ing Hatari remote API commands.

       It can be useful for first exploring Hatari's remote API usage interac‐
       tively and then writing	scripts	 that  somehow	automate  your	Hatari
       usage.	They can invoke hconsole functionality simply by doing "import
       hconsole" and calling appropriate methods (see example.py  coming  with
       hconsole).

USAGE
       Normally	 hconsole forwards  all of its arguments to Hatari instance it
       invoked.	 If you want to give arguments for hconsole itself,  you  need
       to  add '--' argument after the hconsole arguments and before the argu‐
       ments going to Hatari.

       If you give a file name as hconsole argument, commands in  it  will  be
       read and executed through Hatari's remote API before you get into hcon‐
       sole interactive shell.

       Hconsole accepts following options:

       --exit Exit after starting Hatari and parsing arguments.

       --help, -h
	      Show command line help.

EXAMPLES
       Start Hatari with all of the given arguments:
	    hconsole.py --monitor mono -d test/

       Start Hatari without extra arguments, execute commands from  the	 given
       commands.txt file, exit after the file ends:
	    hconsole.py commands.txt --exit --

FILES
       By   default   hconsole	and  its  examples  are	 installed  under  the
       /usr/local/share/hatari/hconsole/ directory.
