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
19              Pass the remaining arguments to Smalltalk
20
21       -c --core-dump
22              Dump core on fatal signal
23
24       -d --declaration-trace-user
25              Trace compilation of files on the command line
26
27       -D --declaration-trace-all
28              Trace compilation of all loaded files
29
30       -e --execution-trace-user
31              Trace execution of files on the command line
32
33       -E --execution-trace-all
34              Trace execution of all loaded files
35
36       -g --no-gc-message
37              Do not print garbage collection messages
38
39       -H --help
40              Print this message and exit
41
42       -i --rebuild-image
43              Ignore the image file; rebuild it from scratch
44
45       -I --image-file file
46              Instead of `gst.im', use `file' as the image  file,  and  ignore
47              the kernel files' timestamps
48
49       -K --kernel-file file
50              Make file's path relative to the image path.
51
52       -p --emacs-mode
53              Execute as a `process' (from within Emacs)
54
55       -q --quiet --silent
56              Do not print execution information
57
58       -Q --no-messages
59              Run Smalltalk with -q -g and no startup banner
60
61       -r --regression-test
62              Run in regression test mode, i.e. make printed messages constant
63
64       -S --snapshot
65              Save a snapshot just before exiting
66
67       -v --version
68              Print the Smalltalk version number and exit
69
70       -V --verbose
71              Print names of loaded files and execution stats
72
73       -      Read input from standard input explicitly
74
75       Files  are  loaded  one after the other.  After the last one is loaded,
76       Smalltalk will exit.  If no files are specified, Smalltalk  reads  from
77       the terminal, with prompts.
78
79       In  the  second  form,  the  file after -f is the last loaded file; any
80       parameter after that file is passed to the Smalltalk program.
