Public bug reported: The list of available command line options shown by 'mit-scheme --help' differs from that shown in 'man mit-scheme'. MIT Scheme release 9.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
* Exceprt from the man page: OPTIONS These are some of the more common command-line options. For full information about available options, see the Texinfo documentation. --heap NBLOCKS Specify the size of the heap in 1024-word blocks. The default heap size is 4096 blocks. --stack NBLOCKS Specify the size of the stack in 1024-word blocks. The default stack size is 128 blocks. --library PATH Specify where to look for Scheme's binary files. PATH should be a colon-separated list of directory names. --no-init-file Don't load the user's init file. --edit Start the text editor automatically. --eval EXPRESSION... Evaluate the specified expressions after starting Scheme. --load FILENAME... Load the specified files after starting Scheme. --option-summary Print a summary of the command-line options, including default values. * List of options shown by 'mit-scheme --help': $ mit-scheme --help Usage: mit-scheme --OPTION ARG ... --OPTION ARG ... This machine accepts the following command-line options. The options may appear in any order, but they must all appear before any options for the band. --library PATH Sets the library search path to PATH. This is a colon-separated list of directories that is searched to find various library files, such as bands. If this option is not given, the value of the environment variable MITSCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH is used; if that isn't defined, "/usr/local/lib/mit-scheme" is used. --band FILENAME Specifies the initial band to be loaded. Searches for FILENAME in the working directory and the library directories, returning the full pathname of the first readable file of that name. If this option isn't given, the filename is the value of the environment variable MITSCHEME_BAND, or if that isn't defined, "runtime.com"; in these cases the library directories are searched, but not the working directory. --fasl FILENAME Specifies that a cold load should be performed, using FILENAME as the initial file to be loaded. If this option isn't given, a normal load is performed instead. This option may not be used together with the "--band" option. --heap BLOCKS Specifies the size of the heap in 1024-word blocks. Overrides any default. --constant BLOCKS Specifies the size of constant space in 1024-word blocks. Overrides any default. --stack BLOCKS Specifies the size of the stack in 1024-word blocks. Overrides any default. --option-summary Causes Scheme to write option values to standard error. --help Causes Scheme to report the available command line options. --version Causes Scheme to report versions and copyrights, then exit. --batch-mode, --quiet, --silent Suppresses the startup report of versions and copyrights, and the valediction. --emacs Specifies that Scheme is running as a subprocess of GNU Emacs. This option is automatically supplied by GNU Emacs, and should not be given under other circumstances. --interactive If this option isn't specified, and Scheme's standard I/O is not a terminal, Scheme will detach itself from its controlling terminal. This will prevent it from getting signals sent to the process group of that terminal. If this option is specified, Scheme will not detach itself from the controlling terminal. --nocore Specifies that Scheme should not generate a core dump under any circumstances. Please report bugs to [email protected]. Additional options may be supported by the band (and described below).

Evaluates the argument expressions as if in the REPL. --load ARG ... Loads the argument files as if in the REPL. In batch mode, loading messages are suppressed. --no-init-file Inhibits automatic loading of the ~/.scheme.init file. --no-suspend-file Inhibits automatic saving of bands to ~/scheme_suspend. --suspend-file If specified, Scheme saves a band to ~/scheme_suspend on reception of some signals. This is unavailable on some operating systems. Under Unix, this is triggered by SIGUSR1 and SIGPWR, and also, if Scheme is not running under Emacs, SIGHUP.
