NAME

rep - Read, Eval, Print Interpreter

SYNOPSIS

rep [ FILE ] [ --batch ] [ --interp ] [ -f, --call FUNCTION ] [ -l, --load FUNCTION ] [ -s, --scheme FILE ] [ --version ] [ --no-rc ] [ -q, --quit ]

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

-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

--version

--no-rc
