tool

The tool command launches an action offered by a Tool declaration (see the Tool documentation on how actions are declared). These can run interactively and with X11 display forwarding, as specified by the action.

Similarly to exec, the exit code of the contained process will be forwarded to the host.

The tool command has no sub-commands or options of its own so all positional arguments, and those after a -- delimiter, are forwarded to the action.

Usage Example

As with exec, using the explicit argument delimiter is recommended:

$> bw tool gtkwave.view -- a/waves.vcd b/waves.gtkw
