ikarus(1)
NAME
ikarus - Scheme Programming Language
SYNOPSIS
ikarus -h ikarus [-b bootfile] --r6rs-script scriptfile [opts] ikarus [-b bootfile] [files] [opts]
DESCRIPTION
The ikarus command starts the Ikarus Scheme system. Invoking ikarus
without options enters a read-eval-print loop.
OPTIONS
-h Show summary of options.
- -b bootfile
- If the option [-b <bootfile>] is provided, the bootfile is used as the system's initial boot file from which the environment is initialized. If that is not set, the default boot file /usr/lib/ikarus/ikarus.boot is used.
- [-b bootfile] --r6rs-script scriptfile [opts]
- Starts ikarus in r6rs-script mode. The script file is treated as an R6RS-script. The command line options following scriptfile can be obtained using the "command-line" procedure in the (rnrs programs) library.
- [-b bootfile] [files] [opts]
- Starts ikarus in interactive mode. Each of the files is first loaded into the interaction environment before the interactive read-eval-print loop is started. The command line options following the list of files to load can be obtained using the "command-line" procedure.
FILES
/usr/lib/ikarus/ikarus.boot
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
none
