DESCRIPTION¶
rep `librep' is a dialect of Lisp, designed to be used both as an
extension language for applications and as a general purpose programming
language. It was originally written to be mostly-compatible with Emacs Lisp,
but has subsequently diverged markedly. Its aim is to combine the best
features of Scheme and Common Lisp and provide an environment that is
comfortable for implementing both small and large scale systems. It tries to
be a "pragmatic" programming language.
OPTIONS¶
- FILE
- load the Lisp file FILE (from the cwd if possible,
implies --batch mode)
- --batch
- Batch mode: process options and exit.
- --interp
- Interpreted mode: don't load compile Lisp files.
- -f FUNCTION --call
FUNCTION
- Call the Lisp function FUNCTION.
- -l FILE --load FILE
- Load the file of Lisp forms called FILE.
- -s FILE --scheme
FILE
- Load the file of Scheme forms called FILE (implies
--batch mode).
- --version
- Print version details.
- --no-rc
- Don't load rc or site-init files.
- -q --quit
- Terminate the interpreter process.
