Usage: cscript {options} scriptname
Cscript takes a script and turns it into an executable. It is meant to be a
subsitute for systems which do not have the Unix '#!' automatic interpreter
invocation feature.
The executable basically spits the script into a temporary file and invokes
the specified interpreter on it.
Options:
-i <name> : Specify an alternate interpreter. Default is "perl"
-o <name> : Specify an alternate program name. Default is script name with
any "." suffix stripped. (i.e. playmod.pl -> playmod)
-v : Verbose mode.
-c : Produce C code only. Do Not try to invoke default C compiler
(GCC).
If the default interpreter is not perl and you do not wish to use the -i
option, you can just put a Unix "#!/interpreter_pathspec" type line in the
file and cscript will try to use that instead. (provided the scripting
language understands '#' as a comment :^)
For further documentation, see the source code. :^)
