GOSH(1) Gauche Commands GOSH(1)NAMEgosh - a Scheme script interpreter
SYNOPSISgosh [-biqV] [-I path ] [-A path ] [-u module ] [-l file ] [-e expr ]
[-E expr ] [-f flag ] [--] [ script argument ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Gosh is a stand-alone Scheme interpreter built on top of the Gauche
Scheme script engine.
When script is given, gosh loads the script, evaluating Scheme code in
it. Then, if the script defines a procedure named main, gosh calls it
with a single argument which is a list of the script name and subse‐
quent arguments. When main returns an integer value, gosh exits with
it as an exit code. If main returns non-integer value, or an error is
signaled during evaluation, gosh exits with exit code 70 (EX_SOFTWARE).
See SRFI-22 (http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-22/srfi-22.html) for
details. If there's no main procedure defined in the script, gosh
exits with code 0 after loading the script file.
If no script file is given, gosh goes into an interactive mode. By
default, gosh prompts the user to enter a Scheme expression, read and
evaluates it, then prints the result, until EOF is read. If the stan‐
dard input is not a terminal, however, gosh doesn't print a prompt; it
allows a user to use gosh as a filter program. This behavior can be
controlled by -i or -b option; see below.
OPTIONS
Command line options are processed before loading the script file or
entering the interactive mode.
The options -I, -A, -u, -l, -L, -e and -E are processed in the order of
appearance. For example, adding a load path by -I option affects the
-l options after it, but not the ones before it.
-V Prints gosh version and exits.
-b Batch mode. Doesn't print prompt even the standard input is a
terminal. Supersedes -i.
-i Interactive mode. Forces to print prompt, even the standard input
is not a terminal.
-q Prevents reading the default initialization file.
-Ipath
Adds path in front of the load path list.
-Apath
Appends path to the tail of the load path list.
-umodule
Loads and imports module, as if "(use module )" is specified in
the code.
-lfile
Loads a Scheme file file.
-Lfile
Like -l, but doesn't complain if file doesn't exist.
-eexpr
Evaluates a Scheme expression expr.
-Eexpr
Same as -e, except that the expr is read as if it is surrounded by
parenthesis.
-ptype
Turns on the profiler. Currently type can only be 'time'.
-fflag
Sets various flags.
case-fold uses case-insensitive reader (as in R5RS)
load-verbose report while loading files
no-inline don't inline primitive procedures and constants
(combined no-inline-globals, no-inline-locals,
and
no-inline-constants.)
no-inline-globals don't inline global procedures.
no-inline-locals don't inline local procedures.
no-inline-constants don't inline constants.
no-post-inline-pass don't run post-inline optimization pass.
-Ffeature
Makes feature available in cond-expand forms.
-- Specifies that there are no more options. If there are more argu‐
ments after this, they are taken as script file name and its argu‐
ments.
ENVIRONMENT
GAUCHE_LOAD_PATH
A colon separated list of the load paths.
The paths are appended before the system default load paths.
GAUCHE_DYNLOAD_PATH
A colon separated list of the load paths for dynamically loaded
objects. The paths are appended before the system default load
paths.
