DESCRIPTION

Sawfish is a lisp-extensible window manager for X11. Its aim is to allow all areas of window management (decoration, manipulation) to be customized as far as is possible, yet still remain as fast or faster than existing window managers.

Disable internationalization of messages.
Load the Lisp file FILE (from the cwd if possible, implies --batch mode).
Batch mode: process options and exit.
Interpreted mode: don't load compiled Lisp files.
Call Lisp function FUNCTION.
Load the file of Lisp forms called FUNCTION.
Print version details.
Don't load rc or site-init files.
Terminate the interpreter process.
