Invokes the Common Lisp interpreter and compiler.
Invoked without arguments, executes the read-eval-print loop, in which
expressions are in turn read from standard input, evaluated by the lisp
interpreter, and their results output to standard output.
Invoked with -c
, compiles
the specified lisp files to a bytecode that can be executed
more efficiently.

Currently the only effect of this is that unnecessary prompts are not
suppressed.
#ifdef GNU_READLINE
Furthermore, the
GNU
readline library treats
Tab as a normal self-inserting character,
so you should always use this option when you invoke CLISP from Emacs.

this sets variables

and
*compile-print*
to t

Note that this setting persists into the read-eval-print loop.-norc
clisp
loads a user run control (RC) file on
startup (this happens after the -C
option is processed).
The file loaded is
#if defined(PATHNAME_OS2) || defined(PATHNAME_WIN32) || defined(PATHNAME_RISCOS)
_clisprc.lisp
or _clisprc.fas
in the home directory
(user-homedir-pathname)

#endif
#if defined(PATHNAME_UNIX)

or ${HOME}/.clisprc.fas
,
#endif
whichever is newest. This option, -norc
, prevents loading of
the RC file.-i

ed
at startup. These should be lisp files (source or compiled).
Several -i
options can be given; all the specified
files will be loaded in order.-c
lispfile ...load

gain efficiency.-o

expressions*args*
will be bound to a list of strings, representing the arguments.
#ifdef UNIX
The first line of lispfile may start with #!
,
thus permitting clisp
to be used as a script interpreter.
#endif
If lispfile is -
,
the standard input is used instead of a file.
If lispfile is the empty string ""
or "--"
the rest of the arguments is still available in *args*
,
for parsing by the init-function
of the current image.
This option must be the last one.
No RC file will be executed.@

When you encounter a bug in clisp
, please report it to the
CLISP
mailing list or the
SourceForge bug tracker.
When submitting a bug report, please specify the following information:
"uname -a"
on a Unix system)?
Compiler version? LIBC version (on Linux)?clisp
? (What command, options &c.)
Please do a clean build (remove your build directory and build
clisp
with "./configure --build build"
or at
least do a "make distclean"
before "make"
).
If you are reporting a crash (segmentation fault, bus error, core
dump etc), please do
"./configure --with-debug --build build-g"
and report the backtrace."clisp --version"
