Hi
I need to detect the actual programming language of a script.
A way of detecting it is to examine the first line searching for the
"sha-bang" (#!), e.g.,
#!/bin/bash
or
#!/usr/bin/perl
However, there are cases where this is not enough, since the script,
although it has #!/bin/sh is actually written (and interpreted) in
another language, e.g., Tcl.
So my question is, is there another way of detecting the actual
language? I mean, another convention?
Another guy told me that a possible way is to use, on the second line a
pattern like
-*- <interpreter> -*-
and I found some tcl scripts that look like this.
Is there a specific standard convention?
many thanks in advance
Lorenzo
