library directory

[Ian Zimmerman-4]

Is it possible to somehow determine mechanically what the standard
library directory of a running Hugs interpreter is?

The output of :set gives the load path, but that hides the library
directory as {Hugs}.

Some other (unnamed, grin) tools provide similar information in
their --version output, or have a special option that outputs only
this.

Thanks.

hugs -q </dev/null | sed -n '11s@.*"\(.*\)/packages/base/Prelude.hs":@\1@p'

What does the -q do?  It is not mentioned either in the manpage or in
the manual.

It is in the manpage and section 3.1.2 of the User's Guide, but
you have to remember that Hugs toggle options come in +/- pairs:
+q (the default) loads modules quietly; -q doesn't.
