Command Syntax:
- )savesystem filename
Command Description:
This command is used to save an FriCAS image to disk. This creates an executable file which, when started, has everything loaded into it that was there when the image was saved. Thus, after executing commands which cause the loading of some packages, the command:
)savesystem /tmp/savesys
will create an image that can be restarted with the UNIX command:
fricas -ws /tmp/savesys
This new system will not need to reload the packages and domains that were already loaded when the system was saved.
There is currently a restriction that only systems started with the command “FriCASsys” may be saved.
