When V is run without any arguments, it is a shorthand for `v runrepl`.
When given a .v file, it will be compiled. The output executable will have the same name as the input .v file.
You can use -o to specify a different output name.
When given a directory, all the .v files contained in it, will be compiled as part of a single main module.
When given a directory, all the .v files contained in it, will be compiled as part of a single main module.
By default the executable will be named a.out.
Any file ending in _test.v, will be treated as a test.
Any file ending in _test.v, will be treated as a test.
It will be compiled and run, evaluating the assert statements in every function named test_xxx.
You can put common options inside an environment variable named VFLAGS, so that you do not repeat them.
You can put common options inside an environment variable named VFLAGS, so that you do not repeat them.
You can set it like this: `export VFLAGS="-cc clang -debug"` on unix, `set VFLAGS=-os msvc` on windows.
Options:
- Shorthand for `v runrepl` .
-h, help Display this information.
Options:
- Shorthand for `v runrepl`.
-h, --help Display this information.
-live Enable hot code reloading (required by functions marked with [live]).
-os <OS> Produce an executable for the selected OS.
-os <OS> Produce an executable for the selected OS.
OS can be linux, mac, windows, msvc, etc...
-os msvc is useful, if you want to use the MSVC compiler on Windows.
-prod Build an optimized executable.
-v, version Display compiler version and git hash of the compiler source.
-v, --version Display compiler version and git hash of the compiler source.
Debugging options:
-cc <ccompiler> Specify which C compiler you want to use as a C backend.
-cc <ccompiler> Specify which C compiler you want to use as a C backend.
The C backend compiler should be able to handle C99 compatible C code.
Common C compilers are gcc, clang, tcc, icc, cl ...
-cflags flags Pass additional C flags to the C backend compiler.

-cflags <flags> Pass additional C flags to the C backend compiler.
Example: -cflags `sdl2-config --cflags`
-debug Keep the generated C file for debugging in program.tmp.c even after compilation.
-g Show v line numbers in backtraces. Implies -debug.
-g Show v line numbers in backtraces. Implies -debug.
-o <file> Place output into <file>. If file has a .c suffix, produce C source, and do not compile it further.
-obf Obfuscate the resulting binary.
-show_c_cmd Print the full C compilation command and how much time it took.
Subcommands:
up Update V. Run `v up` at least once per day, since V development is rapid and features/bugfixes are added constantly.
run <file.v> Build and execute the V program in file.v . You can add arguments for the V program *after* the file name.
build module Compile a module into an object file.
run <file.v> Build and execute the V program in file.v. You can add arguments for the V program *after* the file name.
build <module> Compile a module into an object file.
runrepl Run the V REPL. If V is running in a tty terminal, the REPL is interactive, otherwise it just reads from stdin.
symlink Useful on unix systems. Symlinks the current V executable to /usr/local/bin/v, so that V is globally available.
install module Install a user module from https://vpm.vlang.io/ .
install <module> Install a user module from https://vpm.vlang.io/.
test v Run all V test files, and compile all V examples.
fmt Run vfmt to format the source code. [wip]
doc Run vdoc over the source code and produce documentation. [wip]
translate Translates C to V. [wip, will be available in V 0.3]
translate Translates C to V. [wip, will be available in V 0.3]
version Display compiler version and git hash of the compiler source.
