NAME
       GAP - Groups, Algorithms and Programming


DESCRIPTION
       GAP  is  a  system  for  computational  discrete  algebra with particular emphasis on computational group
       theory, but which has already proved useful also in other areas. In the example  text,  gap  is  used  to
       analyse Rubik's Cube using group theory. A kernel implements a pascal-like language.


OPTIONS
       usage: gap [OPTIONS] [FILES]

              run the Groups, Algorithms and Programming system, Version 4.4.12

       -h     print this help and exit

       -b     disable/enable the banner

       -q     enable/disable quiet mode

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

       -f     force line editing

       -n     prevent line editing

       -x <num>
              set line width

       -y <num>
              set number of lines

       -g     show GASMAN messages (full garbage collections)

       -g -g  show GASMAN messages (all garbage collections)

       -m <mem>
              set the initial workspace size

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

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

       -c <mem>
              set the cache size value

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

       -l <paths>
              set the GAP root paths

       -r     disable/enable reading of the '.gaprc' file

       -A     disable/enable autoloading of GAP packages

       -B <name>
              current architecture

       -D     enable/disable debugging the loading of library files

       -M     disable/enable loading of compiled modules

       -N     disable/enable check for completion files

       -T     disable/enable break loop

       -X     enable/disable CRC for comp. files while reading

       -Y     enable/disable CRC for comp. files while completing

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

       -L <file>
              restore a saved workspace

       -R     prevent restoring of workspace (ignoring -L)

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