Specifying the Commands-Only Option

To enter commands-only mode, specify the -C option on the prism command line. You can also include other arguments on the command line; for example, you can specify the name of a program, so that Prism comes up with that program loaded. X toolkit options are, of course, meaningless. See " Prism Options"" for more information on command-line options.

When you have issued the command

% prism -C -n 4 a.out

you receive this prompt:

(prism all)

You can issue most Prism commands at this prompt, except for commands that apply specifically to the graphical interface; these include pushbutton, tearoff, and untearoff.
