Using the Gold Shell (goldsh)

goldsh is an interactive control program that can access all of the advanced functionality in Gold.

The goldsh control program allows you to make powerful and sweeping modifications to many objects with a single command. Inadvertant mistakes could result in modifications that are very difficult to reverse.

Usage

Gold commands can be invoked directly from the command line as arguments, or read from stdin (interactively or redirected from a file).

goldsh [—debug] [-? | —help] [--man] [—raw] [—quiet] [-v | —verbose] [<Command>]

Example 1. Specifying the command as direct arguments

$ goldsh System Query
