To get a preview of the man page as it will actually be displayed, run

> nroff -man julia.1 | less

at the terminal.

Suggestions and improvements very much appreciated!
Nothing is too large or too small.
This man page was largely taken from pre-existing sources of documentation.
This is documented by comments in the man page's source.

# TODOs:
1. Simple, hopefully portable way to get the man page on everyone's manpath.
   (The whole point was to be able to simply `man julia`!)

Possible se...

NAME

julia - high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing

SYNOPSIS

julia [option] [program] [args..]

DESCRIPTION

Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library. The library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing. In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of external packages through Julia's built-in package manager at a rapid pace. Julia programs are organized around multiple dispatch; by defining functions and overloading them for different combinations of argument types, which can also be user-defined. For a more in-depth discussion of the rationale and advantages of Julia over other systems, please see the online manual: docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual
If a Julia source file is given as a program (optionally followed by
 arguments in args) Julia will execute the program and exit.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

-v, --version

Display version information

-h, --help

Print help message

-q, --quiet

Quiet startup without banner

-H, --home <dir>

Set location of julia executable

-e, --eval <expr>

Evaluate <expr>

-E, --print <expr>

Evaluate and show <expr>

-P, --post-boot <expr>

Evaluate <expr>, but don't disable interactive mode

-L, --load <file>

Load <file> immediately on all processors

-J, --sysimage <file>

Start up with the given system image file

-C, --cpu-target <target>

Limit usage of cpu features up to <target>

-p, --procs <n>

Run n local processes

--machinefile <file>

Run processes on hosts listed in <file>

-i

Force isinteractive() to be true

--color={yes|no}

Enable or disable color text

--history-file={yes|no}

Load or save history

--startup-file={yes|no}

Load ~/.juliarc.jl

--compile={yes|no|all}

Enable or disable compiler, or request exhaustive compilation

--code-coverage={none|user|all}, --code-coverage

Count executions of source lines (omitting setting is equivalent to 'user')

--check-bounds={yes|no}

Emit bounds checks always or never (ignoring declarations)

--dump-bitcode={yes|no}

Dump bitcode for the system image (used with --build)

--depwarn={yes|no|error}

Enable or disable syntax and method deprecation warnings ('error' turns warnings into errors)

--inline={yes|no}

Control whether inlining is permitted (overrides functions declared as @inline)

--math-mode={ieee|user}

Always use IEEE semantics for math (ignoring declarations), or adhere to declarations in source code

FILES

~/.juliarc.jl

Per user startup file.

/etc/julia/juliarc.jl

System-wide startup file.
