IEX(1)                 DragonFly General Commands Manual                IEX(1)

NAME
     iex - The Elixir shell

SYNOPSIS
     iex [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
             directory, then, if necessary, it continues in the home direcory.
