- .description
- A language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with interactive
- execution of statements. There are some similarities in the syntax to
- the C programming language.
-
- A standard math library is available by command line option. If
- requested, the math library is defined before processing any files.
- bc starts by processing code from all the files listed on the command
- line in the order listed. After all files have been processed, bc
- reads from the standard input. All code is executed as it is read.
- (If a file contains a command to halt the processor, bc will never
- read from the standard input.)
-
- This version of bc contains several extensions beyond traditional bc
- implementations and the POSIX draft standard. Command line options
- can cause these extensions to print a warning or to be rejected. This
- document describes the language accepted by this processor.
- Extensions will be identified as such.

- This is the original FSF source archive before any Amiga changes.
