NAME¶
sisc - Second Interpreter of Scheme Code
SYNOPSIS¶
sisc [
option ... ] [
argument ... [ -- [
program‐option ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION¶
SISC, the Second Interpreter of Scheme Code, is an extensible Java based
interpreter of the Scheme language as described in the
Revised^5 Report
on the Algorithmic Language Scheme and adds numerous extensions
including Java integration.
STARTUP FILE AND EXPRESSION OPTIONS¶
- -c name
- --call-with-args name
- Calls the top‐level procedure name with the
remaining command‐line arguments after the -- delimiter.
- -e expr
- --eval expr
- Evaluates the provided expression.
- -x
- --no-repl
- Instructs SISC to run the command line and then exit
without entering the REPL.
- -h heap‐file
- --heap heap‐file
- Specifies that heap-file should be used as the
initial heap image.
- -p config‐file
- --properties config‐file
- Specifies a Java property file that contains application
properties.
- -l [<host>:]<port>
- --listen [<host>:]<port>
- Server Mode. Listen on <host>/<port> for REPL
connections.
COMMAND LINE BEHAVIOR¶
The commandline is processed in the following manner.
First, the entire command line is processed, noting the settings of each switch
and accumulating all Scheme source files and arguments after the end of
options sequence.
Second, the heap file is loaded.
Third, each Scheme source file is loaded in the order they occured on the
command line. Errors are noted.
Fourth, if present, the expression in an --eval switch is evaluated. Errors are
noted.
Fifth, if present, named function in a --call-with-args switch is applied to the
arguments after the end of options sequence. Its return value is noted.
Sixth, --no-repl was not specified, the REPL is invoked.
Finally, if the REPL was run if its return value is an integer, that integer is
returned as SISC's overall return code. If the REPL was not run, and any
return code supporting step above was run, the most recent return code is
returned. If no return code step was performed, but a success/failure step was
performed, 1 is returned if any failures occured, 0 otherwise.
EXECUTABLE SCRIPTS¶
SISC supports all the required SRFI‐22 bootstraps, consult the body of
SRFI‐22 for more information about using it to write executable Scheme
programs.
