The Irie Pascal command-line Pascal compiler translates Pascal source programs into Irie Virtual Machine executables (.IVM executables), or (.EXE executables).

Command-line Compiler (ipc) Syntax

The syntax for the command-line compiler is as follow:

• ipc - The compiler displays a brief help screen showing the proper syntax.
• ipc ? - The compiler displays a more detailed help screen listing all the options you can use.
• ipc [options] filename - The compiler attempts to compile the file specified by filename, using the options specified. NOTE: filename can include path information, and [x] indicates that x is optional.

   ipc hello

or

   ipc hello.pas

(assuming of course that hello.pas is in the current directory).

The compiler will generate a file called hello.ivm which contains an IVM executable. You can run it by entering

   ivm hello

or

   ivm hello.ivm

NOTE: If you do not specify a path for the executable (as in the example above) the interpreter will first look in the current directory and if not found the interpreter will search the path.
