# Universal Command Language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Universal Command Language, or UCL, is a scripting language designed for use with REPLs or batch jobs.
|
||
|
|
It's heavily inspired by the likes of TCL and Bash, and it's purpose is to be usable as an interactive command
|
||
|
|
language while at the same time being useful enough as a scripting language for simple automation tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The flavour of a particular UCL instance will depend heavily on the host environment. Most likely additional commands
|
||
|
|
will be defined, and some commands may be removed. But this page describes the features of a "typical" UCL instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
proc greet { |someone|
|
||
|
|
echo "Hello, $someone"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
greet "world"
|
||
|
|
```
|
