QEXO(1) 		     General Commands Manual			 QEXO(1)

NAME
     qexo - the XQuery language implemented on a Java VM

SYNOPSIS
     qexo [options]
     java kawa.repl --xquery [options]

DESCRIPTION
     This  manual page documents briefly the qexo package, an XQuery implementa-
     tion written completely in the Java language.  XQuery expressions are  com-
     piled into Java bytecodes for efficiency.

     XQuery  is a new language designed for querying, manipulating, and generat-
     ing XML and similar data sets.

     Using the qexo script is equivalent to invoking an interpreter of the  Java
     language on the kawa.repl class and specifying the --xquery option.

     This  manual  page is just a quick synopsis.  For more information, see the
     links below.

OPTIONS
     -e expression
	    Evaluate the expression.

     -c expression
	    Evaluate the expression,  but  does  not  cause  the  start-up  file
	    ~/.kawarc.scm to be read.

     -f filename
	    Read and evaluate XQuery expressions from the filename.

     -s     Enter an interactive read-evaluate-print command loop.

     -w     Enter an interactive read-evaluate-print in a new top-level window.

     -C filename
	    Compile filename to one or more Java class files.  See the Kawa man-
	    ual for details.

     If no options are specified, it is equivalent to -s.
     GNU readline(3) can normally be used to edit commands.

FILES
     /usr/bin/qexo
	    The qexo executable just invokes kawa(1) with the --xquery option.

     ~/.kawarc.scm
	    Commands that are executed when qexo (or kawa) is started.
