NAME
Smalltalk - the GNU Smalltalk virtual machine
DESCRIPTION
GNU Smalltalk usage: gst [ flag ... ] [ file ... ] gst [ flag ... ] { -f | --file } file [ args ... ] Short flags can appear either as -xyz or as -x -y -z. If an option is mandatory for a long option, it is also mandatory for a short one. The currently defined set of flags is: -a --smalltalk-args Pass the remaining arguments to Smalltalk. -c --core-dump Dump core on fatal signal. -D --declaration-trace Trace compilation of all loaded files. -E --execution-trace Trace execution of all loaded files. -g --no-gc-message Do not print garbage collection messages. -H --help Print this message and exit. -i --rebuild-image Ignore the image file; rebuild it from scratch. --maybe-rebuild-image Rebuild the image file from scratch if any kernel file is newer. -I --image FILE Instead of `gst.im', use FILE as the image file, and ignore the kernel files' timestamps. -K --kernel-file FILE Make FILE's path relative to the image path. -q --quiet --silent Do not print execution information. -r --regression-test Run in regression test mode, i.e. make printed messages constant. -S --snapshot Save a snapshot just before exiting. -v --version Print the Smalltalk version number and exit. -V --verbose Show names of loaded files and execution stats. --emacs-mode Execute as a `process' (from within Emacs) --kernel-directory DIR Look for kernel files in directory DIR. --no-user-files Don't read user customization files. - Read input from standard input explicitly. Files are loaded one after the other. After the last one is loaded, Smalltalk will exit. If no files are specified, Smalltalk reads from the terminal, with prompts. In the second form, the file after -f is the last loaded file; any parameter after that file is passed to the Smalltalk program.
