No, this is not loading a file. It emulates the normal PicoLisp command line behavior. In PicoLisp, if an argument starts with a '-', it is executed as a Lisp expression instead of being loaded as a file: $ ./pil -version -bye 21.5.12 $ ./pil -"println 'OK" OK : In Vip, this is useful for example to set the correct namespace: $ vip --symbols llvm src/main.l + (note the double '-' as the function is '-symbols'), or to do other useful things: $ vip -"trace 'foo" -"debug 'bar" lib/vip.l + ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
