DESCRIPTION

10     csi is an interpreter for the programming language Scheme supporting most
11     of the features as described in the Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic
12     Language Scheme.  csi is implemented as a program compiled with the
13     CHICKEN compiler.

68
69     -s PATHNAME, -script PATHNAME
70             Use interpreter for shell scripts.
71
72     -ss PATHNAME
73             Run a script with a ‘main’ procedure
74
75     -sx PATHNAME
76             Same as -s, but print each expression as it is evaluated.
77
78     -setup-mode
79             Prefer the current directory when locating extensions.
80
81     -R NAME, -require-extension NAME

83
84     -I PATHNAME, -include-path PATHNAME

ENVIRONMENT

90     The following environment variables change the behaviour of csi:
91
92     CSI_OPTIONS           When set to a string of command-line options, then
93                           the options are passed implicitly to every direct
94                           or indirect invocation of csi. Note that runtime
95                           options of the form ‘-:⟨OPTIONS⟩’ cannot be passed
96                           using this method.
97
98     CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH  Contains one or more pathnames where the inter‐
99                           preter should also look for include files, sepa‐
100                           rated by ‘;’ characters.
101

EXIT STATUS

103     The csi utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
