Gforth Manual

5.13.1 Input Sources

By default, the text interpreter processes input from the user input device (the keyboard) when Forth starts up. The text interpreter can process input from any of these sources:

• The user input device -- the keyboard.
• A file, using the words described in 5.16.1 Forth source files.
• A block, using the words described in 5.17 Blocks.
• A text string, using evaluate.

A program can identify the current input device from the values of source-id and blk.
