Expand description

Execution engine for the stet PostScript interpreter.

This crate is the eval loop that drives PostScript execution. It processes the execution stack one object at a time: executable names are looked up in the dictionary stack and dispatched, operators run, and procedures ({…}) are stepped through element-by-element. The three public entry points are:

  • eval::parse_and_exec — tokenise and execute a byte slice of PostScript source.
  • eval::parse_and_exec_file — same, with a canonical file path recorded so relative resource lookups work.
  • eval::exec_sync — synchronously execute an already-parsed procedure object; used by operators such as if, for, loop.

Most users should use the stet facade crate rather than depending on stet-engine directly.
