@cindex batch mode
@defopt -b
Batch mode, non-interactive, promptless.  
This is useful for running scripts or piping in commands 
while suppressing prompts.  
This mode also turns off tab-completion in the interpreter.  
The opposing option is @option{-i}.
@b{Note:} executables linked against @t{libeditline} may @emph{require} 
this option for processing scripts due to a mishandling of EOF.
