NAME

       ikarus - Scheme Programming Language

SYNOPSIS

       ikarus -h
       ikarus [-b bootfile] --r6rs-script scriptfile [opts]
       ikarus [-b bootfile] [files] [opts]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ikarus  command  starts the Ikarus Scheme system.  Invoking ikarus
       without options enters a read-eval-print loop.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -b bootfile
              If the option [-b <bootfile>] is provided, the bootfile is  used
              as  the system’s initial boot file from which the environment is
              initialized.   If  that  is  not  set,  the  default  boot  file
              /usr/lib/ikarus/ikarus.boot is used.

       [-b bootfile] --r6rs-script scriptfile [opts]
              Starts  ikarus  in r6rs-script mode.  The script file is treated
              as  an  R6RS-script.   The  command   line   options   following
              scriptfile can be obtained using the "command-line" procedure in
              the (rnrs programs) library.

       [-b bootfile] [files] [opts]
              Starts ikarus in interactive mode.  Each of the files  is  first
              loaded  into  the interaction environment before the interactive
              read-eval-print loop  is  started.   The  command  line  options
              following  the  list  of files to load can be obtained using the
              "command-line" procedure.

FILES

       /usr/lib/ikarus/ikarus.boot

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       none

SEE ALSO

       The wrapper scheme-script(1) is useful for writing Scheme scripts  that
       use ikarus.
