This module implements the command line interface to the diagnostics kernel. The following commands are supported by the command line interface rather than the diagnostics kernel:

open 'server': opens a communication channel to a diagnostics kernel. If the server argument is omitted a diagnostics kernel is loaded locally.

close: closes the connection.

exit: exits the command line interface

read 'script': reads an ASCII file and interprets each line which doesn't start with a # as a command.

help: shows a help screen

The following command line options are suported:

-s 'name': starts the command line and opens a connection to the specified server.

-l: starts the command line and opens a connection to a local diagnostics kernel.

-f 'filename': starts the command line and reads the script into the command line interpreter.
