OSCLI
OSCLI passes a command to the MOS, ROMs and filing system to execute.
Specification
6502 | Z80 | 6809 | PDP11 | 80x86 | 32016 | ARM | 68000 | RISC-V | On entry: | On exit: |
YX | HL | X | R0 | BX | R1 | R0 | D0 | A0 | => command string, terminated with CR | undefined |
Calling from BBC BASIC
- OSCLI and inline *commands call OSCLI

Notes
Some systems allow a command line to be prefixed to modify the action:
-
|name
: comment -
/name
: run file, similar to*RUN
-
%name
: bypass aliasing (eg RISC OS) -
@name
: pass command to host system (eg HostFS) -
\name
: only check as filing system command, don't look for file (MDFS, HADFS)
Additionally, systems with a FileSwitch implement:
-
fscommand:name
: temporarily select filing systemfscommand
while executingname
-
-fscommand-name
: temporarily select filing systemfscommand
while executingname
The two can be combined, so - where supported - you could use:
-
fscommand:/name
: temporarily select filing system and run file.
