NAME

       mit-scheme - Scheme development environment

SYNOPSIS

       mit-scheme [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       MIT/GNU  Scheme  is  an  implementation  of  the  Scheme  programming language, providing an interpreter,
       compiler, source-code debugger, integrated Emacs-like editor,  and  a  large  runtime  library.   MIT/GNU
       Scheme is best suited to programming large applications with a rapid development cycle.

OPTIONS

       These  are  some  of the more common command-line options.  For full information about available options,
       see the Texinfo documentation.

       --heap NBLOCKS
              Specify the size of the heap in 1024-word blocks.  The default heap size is 4096 blocks.

       --stack NBLOCKS
              Specify the size of the stack in 1024-word blocks.  The default stack size is 128 blocks.

       --library PATH
              Specify where to look for Scheme's binary  files.   PATH  should  be  a  colon-separated  list  of
              directory names.

       --no-init-file
              Don't load the user's init file.

       --edit
              Start the text editor automatically.

       --eval EXPRESSION...
              Evaluate the specified expressions after starting Scheme.

       --load FILENAME...
              Load the specified files after starting Scheme.

       --option-summary
              Print a summary of the command-line options, including default values.

FILES

       /usr/lib/mit-scheme-<architecture>/
              Support files.

       /usr/bin/mit-scheme-<architecture>
              Architecture-specific executable.

       /usr/bin/mit-scheme
              Link  to  architecture-specific  executable,  to  allow  multiarch  installation.   When  multiple
              architectures are installed, use update-alternatives(8) to choose.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       MIT/GNU Scheme refers to a large number of environment variables.   See  the  Texinfo  documentation  for
       details.

EXAMPLES

       To use the evaluator in a command-line interface, type:

       mit-scheme

       To start the editor and use it as a front-end to the evaluator, type:

       mit-scheme --edit
