Here's an updated guile.1 manpage. I just added a section documenting GUILE_LOAD_PATH. I'd like to do the same for the guile info pages. Should I just send those fixes here too? Thanks .\" Written by Robert Merkel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) .\" augmented by Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .\" Process this file with .\" groff -man -Tascii foo.1 .\" .TH GUILE 1 "January 2001" Version "1.4" .SH NAME guile \- a Scheme interpreter .SH SYNOPSIS .B guile [-q] [-ds] [--help] [--version] [--emacs] [--debug] .B [-l FILE] [-e FUNCTION] [\] .B [-c EXPR] [-s SCRIPT] [--] .SH DESCRIPTION Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language. It implements a superset of R4RS, providing the additional features necessary for real-world use. It is extremely simple to embed guile into a C program, calling C from Scheme and Scheme from C. Guile's design makes it very suitable for use as an "extension" or "glue" language, but it also works well as a stand-alone scheme development environment. The .B guile executable itself provides a stand-alone interpreter for scheme programs, for either interactive use or executing scripts. This manpage provides only brief instruction in invoking .B guile from the command line. Please consult the guile info documentation (type .B info guile at a command prompt) for more information. There is also a tutorial .B (info guile-tut) available. .SH OPTIONS .IP -l FILE Load scheme source code from file. .IP -e FUNCTION After reading script, apply FUNCTION to command-line arguments .IP -ds do -s SCRIPT at this point (note that this argument must be used in conjuction with -s) .IP --help Describe command line options and exit .IP --debug Start guile with debugging evaluator and backtraces enabled (useful for debugging guile scripts) .IP --version Display guile version and exit. .IP --emacs Enable emacs protocol for use from within emacs (experimental) .IP -- Stop argument processing, start guile in interactive mode. .IP -c EXPR Stop argument processing, evaluate EXPR as a scheme expression. .IP -s SCRIPT-FILE Load Scheme source from SCRIPT-FILE and execute as a script. .SH ENVIRONMENT .\".TP \w'MANROFFSEQ\ \ 'u .TP .B GUILE_LOAD_PATH If .RB $ GUILE_LOAD_PATH is set, its value is used to agument the path to search for scheme files when loading. It should be a colon separated list of directories which will be prepended to the default %load-path. .SH FILES .I ~/.guile is a guile script that is executed before any other processing occurs. For example, the following .guile activates guile's readline interface: .RS 4 (use-modules (ice-9 readline)) .RS 0 (activate-readline) .SH "SEE ALSO" .B info guile, info guile-tut http://www.schemers.org provides a general introduction to the Scheme language. .SH AUTHORS Robert Merkel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote this manpage. Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has added to it. .B guile is GNU software. Guile is originally based on Aubrey Jaffer's SCM interpreter, and is the work of many individuals. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930 _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
