IKARUS

NAME

ikarus − Scheme Programming Language

SYNOPSIS

ikarus -h
ikarus
[-b bootfile] --r6rs-script scriptfile [opts]
ikarus
[-b bootfile] [files] [opts]

DESCRIPTION

The ikarus command starts the Ikarus Scheme system. Invoking ikarus without options enters a read-eval-print loop.

OPTIONS

−h

Show summary of options.

−b bootfile

If the option [-b <bootfile>] is provided, the bootfile is used as the system’s initial boot file from which the environment is initialized. If that is not set, the default boot file /usr/lib/ikarus/ikarus.boot is used.

[−b bootfile] −-r6rs-script scriptfile [opts]

Starts ikarus in r6rs-script mode. The script file is treated as an R6RS-script. The command line options following scriptfile can be obtained using the "command-line" procedure in the (rnrs programs) library.

[−b bootfile] [files] [opts]

Starts ikarus in interactive mode. Each of the files is first loaded into the interaction environment before the interactive read-eval-print loop is started. The command line options following the list of files to load can be obtained using the "command-line" procedure.

FILES

/usr/lib/ikarus/ikarus.boot

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

none

SEE ALSO

The wrapper scheme-script(1) is useful for writing Scheme scripts that use ikarus.
