evs tools

Some helpers tools are installed together with Évariste. They are mostly meant to be used by developers (of Évariste, or plugins) rather than end users.

evs cache — Cache management

Using this tool, one can display, explore, or clean cache.

evs plugins — Plugin management

Using this tool, one can display the list of available plugins.

evs compile — Run Évariste

The evariste binary is actually a shortcut to this subcommand.

Write your own

If you want to write your own evs tool, simply place an executable file named evs-foo in a directory of the PATH shell variable. It will be called when calling evs foo, with the same command line arguments.
