osalang —
information about installed OSA languages
osalang prints information about installed
OSA languages. With no options, it prints an unadorned list of language
names to standard output. These names can be passed to the
-l options of osacompile(1) and
osascript(1). The options are as follows:
-d- Only print the default language.
-l- List in long format. For each language,
osalang
will print its component subtype, manufacturer, and capability flags.
There are eight groups of optional routines that scripting components can
support. Each flag is either a letter, meaning the group is supported, or
‘-’, meaning it is not. The letters map to the following
groups:
- c
- compiling scripts.
- g
- getting source data.
- x
- coercing script values.
- e
- manipulating the event create and send functions.
- r
- recording scripts.
- v
- “convenience” APIs to execute scripts in one step.
- d
- manipulating dialects.
- h
- using scripts to handle Apple Events.
-L- Same as
-l, but also prints the description of
each component after its name.
