NAME

6       gosh - a Scheme script interpreter

SYNOPSIS

9       gosh  [-biqV]  [-I path ] [-A path ] [-u module ] [-l file ] [-e expr ]
10       [-E expr ] [-f flag ] [--] [ script argument ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

13       Gosh is a stand-alone Scheme interpreter built on  top  of  the  Gauche
14       Scheme implementation.
15
16       When  script is given, gosh loads the script, evaluating Scheme code in
17       it.  Then, if the script defines a procedure named main, gosh calls  it
18       with  a  single  argument which is a list of the script name and subse‐
19       quent arguments.  When main returns an integer value, gosh  exits  with
20       it  as an exit code.  If main returns non-integer value, or an error is
21       signaled during evaluation, gosh exits with exit code 70 (EX_SOFTWARE).
22       See    SRFI-22    (http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-22/srfi-22.html)   for
23       details.  If there's no main procedure  defined  in  the  script,  gosh
24       exits with code 0 after loading the script file.
25
26       If  no  script  file  is given, gosh goes into an interactive mode.  By
27       default, gosh prompts the user to enter a Scheme expression,  read  and
28       evaluates  it, then prints the result, until EOF is read.  If the stan‐
29       dard input is not a terminal, however, gosh doesn't print a prompt;  it
30       allows  a  user  to use gosh as a filter program.  This behavior can be
31       controlled by -i or -b option; see below.
32
33

OPTIONS

35       Command line options are processed before loading the  script  file  or
36       entering the interactive mode.
37
38       The  options  -I,  -A,  -u, -l, -e and -E are processed in the order of
39       appearance.  For example, adding a load path by -I option  affects  the
40       -l options after it, but not the ones before it.
41
42
43       -V   Prints gosh version and exits.
44
45       -b   Batch  mode.   Doesn't  print  prompt even the standard input is a
46            terminal.  Supersedes -i.
47
48       -i   Interactive mode.  Forces to print prompt, even the standard input
49            is not a terminal.
50
51       -q   Prevents reading the default initialization file.
52
53       -Ipath
54            Adds path in front of the load path list.
55
56       -Apath
57            Appends path to the tail of the load path list.
58
59       -umodule
60            Loads  and  imports  module, as if "(use module )" is specified in
61            the code.
62
63       -lfile
64            Loads a Scheme file file.
65
66       -eexpr
67            Evaluates a Scheme expression expr.
68
69       -Eexpr
70            Same as -e, except that the expr is read as if it is surrounded by
71            parenthesis.
72
73       -fflag
74            Sets various flags.
75              no-inline       don't inline primitive procedures
76              no-source-info  don't preserve source information for debug
77              load-verbose    report while loading files
78              case-fold       uses case-insensitive reader (as in R5RS)
79
80       --   Specifies that there are no more options.  If there are more argu‐
81            ments after this, they are taken as script file name and its argu‐
82            ments.

ENVIRONMENT

86       GAUCHE_LOAD_PATH
87       A colon separated list of the load paths.
88              The paths are appended before the system default load paths.
89
90       GAUCHE_DYNLOAD_PATH
91       A colon separated list of the load paths for dynamically loaded
92              objects.   The paths are appended before the system default load
93              paths.
