Usage

Overview

This manual page documents briefly the gsi and gsc commands.

The Gambit-C programming system is a full implementation of the Scheme language which conforms to the R4RS and IEEE Scheme standards. It consists of two main programs: gsi, the Gambit Scheme interpreter, and gsc, the Gambit Scheme compiler.

The interpreter is executed in interactive mode when no file or `-' or `-e' option is given on the command line. When at least one file or `-' or `-e' option is present the interpreter is executed in batch mode.

Entering ,q or (exit) at the interpreter's command prompt will exit the interpreter.

In batch mode the command line arguments denote files to be loaded, REPL interactions to start (`-' option), and expressions to be evaluated (`-e' option). Note that the `-' and `-e' options can be interspersed with the files on the command line and can occur multiple times. The interpreter processes the command line arguments from left to right, loading files with the `load' procedure and evaluating expressions with the `eval' procedure in the global interaction environment. After this processing the interpreter exits.

gsc-cc-o is a script used by gsc to compile C source files.
