NAME

       GAP - Groups, Algorithms and Programming

SYNOPSIS

       gap [OPTIONS] [FILES]

DESCRIPTION

       GAP  is  a  system  for  computational  discrete algebra, with particular emphasis on Computational Group
       Theory. GAP provides a programming language, a library of thousands of functions  implementing  algebraic
       algorithms  written in the GAP language as well as large data libraries of algebraic objects. GAP is used
       in research and teaching for studying groups and their representations, rings, vector  spaces,  algebras,
       combinatorial structures, and more.

       -h, --help
              print this help and exit

       -b, --banner
              disable/enable the banner

       -q, --quiet
              enable/disable quiet mode

       -e     disable/enable quitting on <ctr>-D

       -f     force line editing

       -n     prevent line editing

       -E, --readline
              disable/enable use of readline library (if possible)

       -x, --width
              <num>     set line width

       -y, --lines
              <num>     set number of lines

       -g, --gasinfo
              show GASMAN messages (full/all/no garbage collections)

       -m, --minworkspace <mem>
              set the initial workspace size

       -o, --maxworkspace <mem>
              set hint for maximal workspace size (GAP may allocate more)

       -K, --limitworkspace <mem>
              set maximal workspace size (GAP never allocates more)

       -c     <mem>     set the cache size value

       -s     <mem      set the initially mapped virtual memory

       -a     <mem>       set   amount  to  pre-malloc-ate  postfix  'k'  =  *1024,  'm'  =  *1024*1024,  'g'  =
              *1024*1024*1024

       -l, --roots
              <paths>   set the GAP root paths  Directories  are  separated  using  ';'.   Putting  ';'  on  the
              start/end of list appends directories to the end/start of existing list of root paths

       -r     disable/enable user GAP root dir GAPInfo.UserGapRoot

       -A     disable/enable autoloading of suggested GAP packages

       -B     <name>    current architecture

       -D     enable/disable debugging the loading of files

       -M     disable/enable loading of compiled modules

       -N     unused, for backward compatibility only

       -O     disable/enable loading of obsolete files

       -X     enable/disable CRC checking for compiled modules

       -T     disable/enable break loop

       -i     <file>    change the name of the init file

       -L     <file>    restore a saved workspace

       -R     prevent restoring of workspace (ignoring -L)

       -p     enable/disable package output mode

       --prof <file>    Run ProfileLineByLine(<filename>) on GAP start

       --cover
              <file>    Run CoverageLineByLine(<filename>) on GAP start

              Boolean  options  (b,q,e,r,A,D,E,M,N,T,X,Y)  toggle  the  current value each time they are called.
              Default actions are indicated first.
