STKLOS(1)

NAME
stklos - An efficient Scheme System providing a powerful Object System

SYNOPSYS
stklos [OPTION ...] [ARGUMENT ... ]

DESCRIPTION
STklos is a free Scheme System (nearly) conform to R5RS. The aim of this implementation is to be fast as well as light. The implementation is based on an ad-hoc Virtual Machine. STklos can also be compiled as a library, so that one can easily embed it in an application.

The salient points of STklos are:

    - efficient and powerful object system based on CLOS providing:

    + Multiple Inheritance,

    + Generic Functions,

    + Multi-methods

    + an efficient MOP (Meta Object Protocol)

    - a simple to use module system

    - implemanents the full tower of numbers defined in R5RS

    - easy connection to the GTK+ toolkit

    - Perl compatible regular expressions thanks to the PCRE package.

    - tail recursive calls are properly implemented

OPTIONS
Here are the options available in the version 0.98 of stklos.

-l file, --load=file
    load 'file' before going interactive

-f file, --file=file
    use 'file' as program

-e sexpr, --execute=sexpr
    evaluate the given sexpr and exit

-b file, --boot-file=file
    use 'file' to boot the system instead of the default one

-q, --no-init-file
    quiet: do not load the user init file

-i, --interactive
    be interactive, even if the command finds it is not the case. This option is generally useful when used inside emacs since it permits to display the REPL prompts.

-d, --debug
    insert informations to ease debugging (e.g, line numbers, signaling usage of undefined symbols, ...)

-s, --stack-size=n
    use a stack of n cells.

-c, --case-sensitive
    be case sensitive. The default is to be case insensitive as specified by R5RS.

-v, --version
    print program version and exit

-h, --help
    print this help and exit

--  This special option signals the end of the stklos command. The arguments placed after this option are taken program arguments, even if they start with a "-" character.

FILES

~/.stklos/stklosrc
    This file is the user init file which is loaded when stklos starts. Use the -q to avoid the loading of this file

VARIABLES

STKLOS_LOAD_PATH
    This is a colon-separated list of directories in which stklos looks for loading files. It is used by functions such as load or try-load.

STKLOS_FRAMES
    This variable must contains an integer which indicates the number of frames printed on an error. Use the value 0 for an unlimited back-trace.
