The *nix equivalent shell script echoes the full erl.exe path and args to stdout when the environment variable ELIXIR_CLI_DRY_RUN is set instead of executing it.
This patch adds this behaviour to the Windows bat file for consistency.
This commit adds 6 new options to elixir CLI to aid releases:
* `--pipe-to PIPEDIR LOGDIR` - invokes run_erl with daemon pipe and logs (only on Unix-like systems)
* `--rpc-eval NODE COMMAND` - evaluates the given expression on the given node
* `--boot FILE`, `--boot-var VAR VALUE`, `--erl-config FILE` and `--vm-args FILE` - which are equivalent to Erlang's `-boot`, `-boot_var`, `-config` and `-args_file`
We have also rewritten the CLI to only pass Elixir options to Kernel.CLI.
Erlang parameters (CLI switch '--erl') are used with possible quotes around the argument removed ('%~1').
This causes an error if one arbitrary argument to elixir.bat represents a quoted path with spaces in it:
"[part of path after space] was unexpected at this time."
Enclose the complete expression with quotes to work around this (the quotes are not added to the content).
This behavior is not documented in the [Windows XP Command Line Reference for SET](https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/set.mspx)
but there are other places which document the [SET command](https://ss64.com/nt/set.html).
Fix for #6455
* Add usage information to iex.bat
Support command line switch '--help', '-h', '/h' and '/?' to show usage information for iex.bat.
Check argument with '/I' to make the test case insensitive:
This allows showing usage information with '--HELP', '-H' and '/H'.
Use 'setlocal' and 'endlocal' so changes to the environment are local to the batch file
(https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491001.aspx) - so there is no need to un-set __ELIXIR_IEX_FLAGS.
* Use documented syntax 'goto label' - without leading colon before the label
* Support cli switch '/?' to show help
Use label :end to jump to the end of the batch file after showing help text -
so the call to elixir.bat is not executed when showing help.
Use 'setlocal' and 'endlocal' so that the env var 'argc' is local to this batch file.
* Support cli switch '/?' to show help for elixir.bat
Test for cli switch '/?' does not need to be case insensitive.
I added the following command-line arguments to the ./bin/elixir binary:
* `--logger-otp true|false` - to configure the `:handle_otp_reports`
of the `:logger` application
* `--logger-sasl true|false` - to configure the `:handle_sasl_reports`
of the `:logger` application
