Display a number (in base 10) to the standard output device. This is faster than `n:put`, but not portable.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix:io | Interface Layer: rre

unix:io:s:put

Display a string to stdout. This is faster than `s:put`, but not portable.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix:io | Interface Layer: rre

unix:kill

Terminates a process. Takes a process and a signal to send.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

unix:pclose

Close a pipe.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

unix:popen

Open a pipe. Takes a command to run, and a file mode (`file:R` or `file:W`; `file:R+` may work on some systems). Returns a file ID usable with words in the `file:` namespace.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

unix:putenv

Takes a string in the form `name=value` and sets an environment variable named `name` to `value`.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

Example:

unix:sleep

Sleep for the specified number of seconds.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

unix:system

Runs another application using the system shell and returns after execution is completed.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

Example:

unix:wait

Waits for a child process to complete. This maps to the wait() system call.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

unix:write

Write a string to the specified file handle.

Class: class:word | Namespace: unix | Interface Layer: rre

until

Execute quote repeatedly while the quote returns a value of `FALSE`. The quote should return a flag of either `TRUE` or `FALSE`, though `until` will treat any non-zero value as `TRUE`.

Example:

v:dec

Decrement the value stored at the specified address by 1.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:dec-by

Decrement the value stored at the specified address by the specified value.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:inc

Increment the value stored at the specified address by 1.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:inc-by

Increment the value stored at the specified address by the specified value.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:limit

Fetch the value stored at the address, then run `n:limit` against it, using the specified lower and upper bounds. Then store the resulting value back to the original address.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:off

Set a variable to 0.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:on

Set a variable to -1.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:preserve

Make a copy of the value at the address, then run the quote. Once the quote completes, restore the address to the specified value.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

v:update-using

Fetch a value from the specified address, then run the quotation with this value on the stack. Afterwards, store the returned value at the original address.

Class: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all

var

Create a variable. The variable is initialized to 0.

Class: class:word | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all

Example:

var<n>

Create a variable with the specified initial value.

Class: class:word | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all

Example:

while

Execute quote repeatedly while the quote returns a `TRUE` value. The quote should return a flag of either `TRUE` or `FALSE`, though `while` will treat any non-zero value as `TRUE`.

Class: class:word | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all

Example:

xor

Perform a bitwise XOR operation.

Class: class:primitive | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all

{

Begin a set. This is intended to make creating sets a bit cleaner than using a quotation and `set:counteh-results`.

Class: class:word | Namespace: set | Interface Layer: all

{{

Begin a lexically scoped area.

Class: class:word | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all

}

Complete a set begun by `{`. Returns a pointer to the data.

Class: class:word | Namespace: set | Interface Layer: all

}as

End an assembly section.

Class: class:macro | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all

}}

End a lexically scoped area.
