Description

`scilab [-ns -nw -display display -f path -args arguments]`	: run scilab.
`-ns`	:if this option is present the startup file `SCI/scilab.star` is not executed.
`-nw`	:if this option is present then scilab is not run in an X window.
`-f file`	: if this option is present then Scilab script `file` is executed first into Scilab.
`-args arguments`	: if this option is present arguments are passed to Scilab. They can then be got by sciargs function. For multi arguments passing use a quoted, blank separated sequence of words like: `scilab -args 'foo1 foo2'`
`scilab -help <key>`	: write on-line documentation about <key> (usually automatically called by scilab command "help <key>"). Example: scilab -help plot3d
`scilab -k <key>`	: gives the list of Scilab commands containing the keyword <key> in their description (usually automatically called by scilab command "apropos <key>")
`scilab -xk <key>`	: gives the list of Scilab commands containing the keyword <key> in their description in a X window.
`scilab -link <objects>`	: Is used to produce a local `scilex` (executable code of Scilab) linked with the additional files given by the user in `<objects>`. If, in the list of object files, some names are known from `SCIDIR/routines/default`, then the `scilex` default files are omitted and replaced with the given ones . This command also produces a `xscilab` script, which when called will ran the new generated scilex file. For example: scilab -link C/interf.o C/evol.o C/bib.a will create a new `scilex` file in which the default `interf.o` file will be replaced by `C/interf.o`.
