Command Line Usage

The CLI interface is fairly simple to use. Most functionality comprises of command line arguments. Command line arguments in supperforth are parsed from left to right. The first expected flag is a functionality flag, followed by several operand flags depending on the functionality flag, and so forth(you can perform more than one operation in a single command).

Functionality Flags

There are four principle functionality flags.

Functionality	Flag	Expects Source	Expects Output
Help	-help	No	No
Information	-info	No	no
Compile	-c	Expects SuperForth Source	Expects Binary Output Destination
Run	-r	Expects Binary	No
Compile and Run	-cr	Expects SuperForth Source	No
Inspect Dump (from superforth binary)	-rd	Expects Binary	No
Inspect Dump (after compiling source)	-cd	Expects SuperForth Source	No

Argument/Specifier Flags

To specify an source, use the -s flag followed by a source specifier(ie filepath). To specify an output, use the -o flag followed by an output specifier(ie filepath). Note: that a source doesn't necessarily have to be a SuperForth source or a SuperForth binary. Note: Usually the source specifier is required before the output specifier.
