   1 Scripting
   2 =========
   3
   4 The Interpreter Window
   5 ----------------------
   6
   7 The simplest interface to FrIDa scripting is the dock window on the
   8 bottom. It allows you to enter arbitrary GUILE commands and access the
   9 FrIDa API. However it is not the preferred environment to do larger
  10 scripting work in but rather a way to give a quick call start some of
  11 the magic scripts.
  12
  13 Loading Scripts
  14 ---------------
  15
  16 If you have written a FrIDa script, you can evaluate it using the
  17 Interpreter Menu. GUILE Scripts are assumend to end in .scm. There is
  18 unrestricted GUILE access available as well as the FrIDa API.

  20 Connect with geiser
  21 -------------------
  22
  23 When the GUILE plugin is loaded, it automatically starts a geiser
  24 server listening on a UNIX domain socket located in
  25 ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` if available, otherwise ``/tmp/runtime-$USER/``
  26 or, as last resort, ``/tmp/frida-*/``. This allows you to connect
  27 to FrIDa from your emacs. It gives you a powerfull REPL and full
  28 programming support -- code completion, directly testing your commands
  29 on a live binary.
