.TH GUILE 1 "January 2001" Version "1.4"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
guile \- a Scheme interpreter
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B guile [-q] [-ds] [--help] [--version] [--emacs] [--debug]
|
|
.B [-l FILE] [-e FUNCTION] [\]
|
|
.B [-c EXPR] [-s SCRIPT] [--]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language. It
|
|
implements a superset of R4RS, providing the additional features
|
|
necessary for real-world use. It is extremely simple to embed guile
|
|
into a C program, calling C from Scheme and Scheme from C. Guile's
|
|
design makes it very suitable for use as an "extension" or "glue"
|
|
language, but it also works well as a stand-alone scheme development
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B guile
|
|
executable itself provides a stand-alone interpreter for scheme
|
|
programs, for either interactive use or executing scripts.
|
|
|
|
This manpage provides only brief instruction in invoking
|
|
.B guile
|
|
from the command line. Please consult the guile info documentation
|
|
(type
|
|
.B info guile
|
|
at a command prompt) for more information. There is also a tutorial
|
|
.B (info guile-tut)
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP -l FILE
|
|
Load scheme source code from file.
|
|
.IP -e FUNCTION
|
|
After reading script, apply FUNCTION to command-line arguments
|
|
.IP -ds
|
|
do -s SCRIPT at this point (note that this argument must be used in
|
|
conjuction with -s)
|
|
.IP --help
|
|
Describe command line options and exit
|
|
.IP --debug
|
|
Start guile with debugging evaluator and backtraces enabled

|
|
.IP --version
|
|
Display guile version and exit.
|
|
.IP --emacs
|
|
Enable emacs protocol for use from within emacs (experimental)
|
|
.IP --
|
|
Stop argument processing, start guile in interactive mode.
|
|
.IP -c EXPR
|
|
Stop argument processing, evaluate EXPR as a scheme expression.
|
|
.IP -s SCRIPT-FILE
|
|
Load Scheme source from SCRIPT-FILE and execute as a script.
|

|

.SH ENVIRONMENT

.B GUILE_LOAD_PATH
|
|
If
|
|
.RB $ GUILE_LOAD_PATH
|
|
is set, its value is used to agument the path to search for scheme
|
|
files when loading. It should be a colon separated list of
|
|
directories which will be prepended to the default %load-path.
|
|
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.I ~/.guile
|
|
is a guile script that is executed before any other processing occurs.
|
|
For example, the following .guile activates guile's readline
|
|
interface:
|
|
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
(use-modules (ice-9 readline))
|
|
.RS 0
|
|
(activate-readline)
