For documentation of CINT C++ interpreter, download cint5.13.11.tar.gz
from http://root.cern.ch/root/Cint.html and unpack the package. There
you find doc/man1~3 directory.
doc/man1/cint.1 : explains about -p , +P,-P options
doc/man2/syntax.2 : explains limitation of CINT
doc/man1/makecint.1 : explains embedding C/C++ program into CINT
CINT is a general purpose C++ interpreter + interpreter compiler which
works on almost all computer platforms with any C/C++ compiler. It can
embed arbitrary C/C++ programs as precompiled library. ROOT is an
example of embedded C++ application. There are other applications, for
example WildC++ (Tcl/Tk+CINT),etc... So, most of the part ROOT has
same usability as CINT. There are some differences because ROOT
team made modification on CINT. That should be explained in ROOT
documentation.
