Invokes the Common Lisp interpreter and compiler.
When called without arguments, executes the read-eval-print loop,
in which expressions are in turn READ from the standard input,
EVALuated by the lisp interpreter,
and their results are PRINTed to the standard output.
Invoked with -c,
compiles the specified lisp files to a platform-independent
bytecode which can be executed more efficiently.
-h--help--versionLISP-IMPLEMENTATION-VERSION,
the value of the variable *FEATURES*,
as well some other information.--license-help-image:DOCUMENTATION
supplied to EXT:SAVEINITMEM.-B lisp-lib-dirlisp-lib-dir can be changed dynamically using the
SYMBOL-MACRO *LIB-DIRECTORY*.
-K
linking-setSpecifies the linking set to be run.
This is a directory (relative to the
lisp-lib-dir)
containing at least a main executable (runtime) and an initial memory image.
Possible values are
| base | the core CLISP |
| full | core plus all the modules with which this installation was built, see Section 31.2, “External Modules”. |
The default is base.
-M
mem-fileEXT:SAVEINITMEM function by this clisp runtime.
It may have been compressed using GNU gzip.
-m memory-sizeSets the amount of memory CLISP tries to grab on startup. The amount may be given as
nnnnnnnnnnnKnnnnKBnMnMBThe default is 3 megabytes. The argument is constrained above 100 KB.
This version of CLISP
is not likely to actually use the entire memory-size since garbage-collection will
periodically reduce the amount of used memory.
It is therefore common to specify 10 MB even if only 2 MB are going
to be used.
-L languageSpecifies the
language
CLISP uses to communicate with the user. This may be
one of english, german, french, spanish, dutch, russian, danish.
Other languages may be specified through the environment variable
LANG,
provided the corresponding message catalog is installed.
The language may be changed dynamically using the SYMBOL-MACRO
CUSTOM:*CURRENT-LANGUAGE*.
-N locale-dirlocale-dir/language/LC_MESSAGES/clisp.moSYMBOL-MACRO
CUSTOM:*CURRENT-LANGUAGE*.-Edomain encodingSpecifies the encoding used for the given domain,
overriding the default which depends on the environment variables
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG.
domain can be
file | affecting CUSTOM:*DEFAULT-FILE-ENCODING*
|
pathname | affecting CUSTOM:*PATHNAME-ENCODING*
|
terminal | affecting CUSTOM:*TERMINAL-ENCODING*
|
foreign | affecting CUSTOM:*FOREIGN-ENCODING*
|
misc | affecting CUSTOM:*MISC-ENCODING*
|
blank | affecting all of the above. |
Note that the values of these SYMBOL-MACROs that
have been saved in a memory image are ignored: these SYMBOL-MACROs
are reset based on the OS environment after
the memory image is loaded.
You have to use the RC file, CUSTOM:*INIT-HOOKS* or init function to
set them on startup, but it is best to set the aforementioned
environment variables appropriately for consistency with other programs.
See Section 30.1, “Customizing CLISP Process
Initialization and Termination”.
-q--quiet--silent-v--verbose*LOAD-VERBOSE* and *COMPILE-VERBOSE* to T, and
*LOAD-PRINT* and *COMPILE-PRINT* to NIL, as per [ANSI CL].
The first -q removes the banner and the good-bye message, the
second sets variables *LOAD-VERBOSE* and *COMPILE-VERBOSE* to NIL.
The first -v sets variables CUSTOM:*REPORT-ERROR-PRINT-BACKTRACE*, *LOAD-PRINT* and
*COMPILE-PRINT* to T, the second sets CUSTOM:*LOAD-ECHO* to T.
These settings affect the output produced by -i and -c options.
Note that these settings persist into the read-eval-print loop.
Repeated -q and -v cancel each other,
e.g., -q -q -v -v -v is equivalent to -v.
-on-error actionOverride (or force) the batch mode imposed by
-c, -x, and lisp-file,
depending on action:
ERRORs are turned into WARNINGs (with
EXT:APPEASE-CERRORS) other ERRORs are handled in the default way
ERRORs INVOKE-DEBUGGER (the normal read-eval-print loop
behavior)ERRORs are appeased, other ERRORs
are ABORTed with EXT:ABORT-ON-ERRORERRORs are appeased, other ERRORs terminate
CLISP with EXT:EXIT-ON-ERROR
See also EXT:SET-GLOBAL-HANDLER.
-repl-c, -x, and lisp-file
options and on any ERROR SIGNALed during that processing.
-w-IInteract better with Emacs (useful when running CLISP under Emacs using SLIME, ILISP et al). With this option, CLISP interacts in a way that Emacs can deal with:
-ansiSYMBOL-MACRO CUSTOM:*ANSI* to T.
-traditional-ansi in the saved memory image.-modern*PACKAGE* variable will be set to the “CS-COMMON-LISP-USER” package, and the
*PRINT-BASE* will be set to :DOWNCASE.
This has the effect that symbol lookup is case-sensitive (except for
keywords and old-style packages) and that keywords and uninterned symbols
are printed with lower-case preferrence.
See Section 11.4, “Package Case-Sensitivity”.
-p package*PACKAGE*
will be set to the package named package.
The default is the value of *PACKAGE* when the image was
saved,
normally “COMMON-LISP-USER”.-CCUSTOM:*LOAD-COMPILING* will be set to T.
Code being LOADed will then be COMPILEd on the fly.
This results in slower loading, but faster execution.
-norc-C option is processed).
The file loaded is .clisprc.lisp
or .clisprc.fas
in the home directory USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME, whichever is newer.
This option, -norc, prevents loading of the RC file.
-i
init-fileLOADed
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 lisp-filelisp-files to bytecode
(*.fas). The compiled files can then be
LOADed instead of the sources to gain efficiency.
-o
outputfilelisp-file.
-lDISASSEMBLE listing
(*.lis) of the files being compiled.
Useful only for debugging.
See Section 24.1.1, “Function COMPILE-FILE” for details.
-x expressions*STANDARD-OUTPUT*.
Due to the argument processing done by the shell, the expressions must be
enclosed in double quotes, and double quotes and backslashes must be
escaped with backslashes.lisp-file [ argument ... ]Loads and executes a lisp-file, as described in
Script execution.
There will be no read-eval-print loop.
Before lisp-file is loaded, the variable EXT:*ARGS* will be bound to a list of
strings, representing the arguments.
The first line of lisp-file may start with #!,
thus permitting CLISP to be used as a script interpreter.
If lisp-file is -,
the *STANDARD-INPUT* is used instead of a file.
This option is disabled if the memory image
was created by EXT:SAVEINITMEM with NIL :SCRIPT
argument. In that case the LIST EXT:*ARGS* starts with lisp-file.
This option must be the last one.
No RC file will be executed.
As usual, -- stops option processing and places
all remaining command line arguments into EXT:*ARGS*.
The language implemented is [ANSI CL]. The implementation mostly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard, see Section 30.10, “Maximum ANSI CL compliance”.

*.cFor the CLISP source files, see Chapter 33, The source files of CLISP.
All environment variables that CLISP uses are read at most once.
CLISP_LANGUAGE-L
option which can be used to override this environment variable.
LC_CTYPElanguage or
language_country or
language_country.charset,
where language is a two-letter ISO 639
language code (lower case), country is a
two-letter ISO 3166 country code (upper case).
charset is an optional character set
specification, and needs normally not be given because the character
set can be inferred from the language and country.
This environment variable can be overridden with the
-Edomain encoding
option.
LANGCLISP_LANGUAGE or the
-L option.
It also specifies the locale determining the character set in use, unless
already specified through the environment variable LC_CTYPE.
The value may begin with a two-letter ISO 639 language code, for example
en, de, fr.
