IO

print(args…): null

Print will print all args to standard output with NO space between them. It an arg is an object with a toString method, that method will be called and the return value will be printed.

println(args…): null

Same as print() but will also output a newline after printing args.

printerr(args…): null

Same as print but writes to stderr.

printerrln(args…): null

Same as println but writes to stderr.

printenv(): null

For debugging. Prints the current symbol table as seen by the environment where printenv() was called.

readline([prompt: string]): string

readline() will read a line from standard input. If a string argument is given, it will be printed before taking input. Calling readline() with more than one argument or with an argument that’s not a string, will cause the interpreter to error.

exit(code: int)

exit() terminates script execution and returns with the error code given. If the script is running in response to an SCGI request, the request is immediately returned.

debugVal(arg: T): T

debugVal() will print its argument to standard out and return the argument unchanged. This is useful for debugging to check values without having to create a new variable.
