Getting arguments by Lua

Getting arguments by Lua

[Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o.]

Hello,

when I run context by e.g.:

context.exe Source.mkiv --result=Result.pdf --mode=Mode

is it possible to access the command line arguments from Lua?

I'm aware that modes are accessible by 'tex.modes' ('tex.modes.Mode' gives 'true' in this case);

but I'd need to get also the source file name ("Source.mkiv") and the option ("--result" -> "Result.pdf").

Is it possible anyhow?

Best regards,

Lukas

the 'environment' table has information about this stuff.

In particular, environment.rawarguments matches the table
that lua calls 'arg'.

\directlua{print (table.serialize(environment.rawarguments))}


Best wishes,

Hello,

I think the tables document.arguments and documents.files might also
be of interest.

Regards.

\starttext
result (lua): \ctxlua{context(environment.outputfilename)}\par
result (tex): \systemparameter{file}
\stoptext
