Standard Options¶

-d <directory>

Specify where to generate documentation.

-version

Print product version and exit.

-help

Print a synopsis of available options.

Documentation Options¶

-doc-title <title>

Define the overall title of the documentation, typically the name of the library being documented.

-doc-version <version>

Define the overall version number of the documentation, typically the version of the library being documented.

-doc-source-url <url>

Define a URL to be concatenated with source locations for link to source files.

-doc-external-doc <external-doc>

Define a comma-separated list of classpath_entry_path#doc_URL pairs describing external dependencies.

Compiler Options¶

-verbose

Output messages about what the compiler is doing

-deprecation

Indicate whether source should be compiled with deprecation information; defaults to off (accepted values are: on, off, yes and no)

Available since Scala version 2.2.1

-classpath <path>

Specify where to find user class files (on Unix-based systems a colon-separated list of paths, on Windows-based systems, a semicolon-separate list of paths). This does not override the built-in ("boot") search path.

The default class path is the current directory. Setting the CLASSPATH variable or using the -classpath command-line option overrides that default, so if you want to include the current directory in the search path, you must include "." in the new settings.

-sourcepath <path>

Specify where to find input source files.

-bootclasspath <path>

Override location of bootstrap class files (where to find the standard built-in classes, such as "scala.List").

-extdirs <dirs>

Override location of installed extensions.

-encoding <encoding>

Specify character encoding used by source files.

The default value is platform-specific (Linux: "UTF8", Windows: "Cp1252"). Executing the following code in the Scala interpreter will return the default value on your system:

scala> new java.io.InputStreamReader(System.in).getEncoding
