IEX(1) BSD General Commands Manual IEX(1)NAMEiex — The Elixir shell
SYNOPSISiex [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
The interactive shell is used for evaluation, debugging and introspection
of the Elixir runtime system. It is also possible to use the program for
testing the work of small pieces of code escaping the stage of saving the
code in a file.
OPTIONS
Note that many of the options mentioned here were borrowed from the
Erlang shell, therefore erl(1) can be used as an additional source of
information on the options.
--dot-iex file
Loads the specified file instead of .iex.exs (see the FILES
section).
--remsh node
Connects to the specified node which was started with the --sname
or --name options (see above).
-- Separates the options passed to the compiler from the options
passed to the executed code.
ENVIRONMENT
ELIXIR_ERL_OPTIONS
Allows passing parameters to the Erlang runtime.
FILES
~/.erlang.cookie
Stores the magic cookie value which is used only when it wasn't
specified via the option --cookie (see above). If the file
doesn't exist when a node starts, it will be created.
.iex.exs
After iex starts, it seeks the file .iex.exs and, in a case of
success, executes the code from the file in the context of the
shell. At first the search starts in the current working direc‐
tory, then, if necessary, it continues in the home direcory.
