shell

The shell command opens a bash shell within the development environment, with the entire project and all tools mapped in. The environment can be customised using options to the command.

It has no sub-commands.

Options

  • --tool <TOOL> / -t <TOOL> - bind a tool into the container - this must use one of the following forms:

    • <VENDOR>:<NAME>=<VERSION> - full syntax that explicitly identifies the vendor, tool name, and version;
    • <VENDOR>:<NAME> - identifies vendor and tool name, implicitly selecting the default version;
    • <NAME>=<VERSION> - identifies tool name and version where there is no vendor specified for the tool;
    • <NAME> - identifies only the tool name, where there is no vendor and the default version is implicitly selected.

  • --no-tools - disable automatic binding of all known tools into the container.

Note

If neither --tool or --no-tools options are provided, then Blockwork will automatically bind the default version of all known tools into the container. If a single --tool is specified, then automatic tool binds will be disabled.

Usage Example

$> bw shell --tool GNU:make=4.4
[12:05:26] INFO     Binding tool make from N/A version 4.4 into shell
[root@example_shell project]# make -v
GNU Make 4.4
