NAME

6       Smalltalk - the GNU Smalltalk virtual machine
7

DESCRIPTION

9       GNU Smalltalk usage:
10
11              gst  [  flag ... ] [ file ... ] gst [ flag ... ] { -f | --file }
12              file [ args ... ]
13
14       Short flags can appear either as -xyz or as -x -y -z.  If an option  is
15       mandatory  for a long option, it is also mandatory for a short one. The
16       currently defined set of flags is:
17
18       -a --smalltalk-args
19              Pass the remaining arguments to Smalltalk.
20
21       -c --core-dump
22              Dump core on fatal signal.
23
24       -D --declaration-trace
25              Trace compilation of all loaded files.
26
27       -E --execution-trace
28              Trace execution of all loaded files.
29
30       -g --no-gc-message
31              Do not print garbage collection messages.
32
33       -H --help
34              Print this message and exit.
35
36       -i --rebuild-image
37              Ignore the image file; rebuild it from scratch.
38
39       --maybe-rebuild-image
40              Rebuild the image file from scratch if any kernel file is newer.
41
42       -I --image FILE
43              Instead of `gst.im', use FILE as the image file, and ignore  the
44              kernel files' timestamps.
45
46       -K --kernel-file FILE
47              Make FILE's path relative to the image path.
48
49       -q --quiet --silent
50              Do not print execution information.
51
52       -r --regression-test
53              Run  in  regression  test  mode, i.e. make printed messages con‐
54              stant.
55
56       -S --snapshot
57              Save a snapshot just before exiting.
58
59       -v --version
60              Print the Smalltalk version number and exit.
61
62       -V --verbose
63              Show names of loaded files and execution stats.
64
65       --emacs-mode
66              Execute as a `process' (from within Emacs)
67
68       --kernel-directory DIR
69              Look for kernel files in directory DIR.
70
71       --no-user-files
72              Don't read user customization files.
73
74       -      Read input from standard input explicitly.
75
76       Files are loaded one after the other.  After the last  one  is  loaded,
77       Smalltalk  will  exit.  If no files are specified, Smalltalk reads from
78       the terminal, with prompts.
79
80       In the second form, the file after -f is  the  last  loaded  file;  any
81       parameter after that file is passed to the Smalltalk program.
