CSI(1)CSI(1)NAMEcsi - Chicken Scheme interpreter
SYNOPSIScsi [ pathname | option ... ]
DESCRIPTIONcsi is an interpreter for the programming language Scheme supporting
most of the features as described in the Revised^5 Report on the Algo‐
rithmic Language Scheme csi is implemented as a program compiled with
the chicken compiler.
OPTIONS-- Ignore everything on the command-line following this marker.
Runtime options -... are still recognized.
-i -case-insensitive
Enables the reader to read symbols case-insensitive. The default
is to read case-sensitive (in violation of R5RS). This option
registers the case-insensitive feature identifier.
-b -batch
Quit the interpreter after processing all command line options.
-e -eval expressions
Evaluate expressions
-p -print expressions
Evaluate expressions and print result(s)-P -pretty-print expressions
Evaluate expressions and pretty-print result(s)-D -feature symbol Registers symbol to be a valid feature iden‐
tifier for cond-expand
-h -help
Write a summary of the available command line options to stan‐
dard ouput and exit.
-I -include-path pathname
Specifies an alternative search-path for files included via the
include special form. This option may be given multiple times.
If the environment variable CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH is set, it
should contain a list of alternative include pathnames separated
by ; .
-k -keyword-stylestyle
Enables alternative keyword syntax, where style may be either
prefix (as in Common Lisp), suffix (as in DSSSL) or none Any
other value is ignored. The default is exttt{suffix}.
-n -no-init
Do not load the initialization-file ~/.csirc If this option is
not given and the file ~/.csirc exists, then it is loaded before
the read-eval-print loop commences.
-w -no-warnings
Disables any warnings that might be issued by the reader or
evaluated code.
-q -quiet
Do not print a startup message.
-s -script pathname
This is equivalent to -batch -quiet pathname , but also ignores
all arguments after the argument following -script
-ss pathname
Similar to -script but invokes the procedure main after loading
the file specified by pathname with a single argument (the list
of command line arguments) returning any result as status code.
-R -require-extension name
Require extension for evaluated code.
-v -version
Write the banner with version information to standard output and
exit.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH
Contains one or more pathnames where the interpreter should also
look for include-files, separated by ; characters.
CHICKEN_PREFIX
Is used as a prefix directory for support files, include-files
and libraries.
CSI_OPTIONS
When set to a string of command-line options, then the options
are passed implicitly to every direct or indirect invocation of
csi
Note that runtime options of the form -... can not be passed
using this method.
