NAME

       rep - Read, Eval, Print Interpreter

SYNOPSIS

       rep  [   FILE   ] [  --batch  ] [  --interp  ] [  -f, --call FUNCTION  ] [  -l, --load FUNCTION  ] [  -s,
       --scheme FILE  ] [  --version  ] [  --no-rc  ] [  -q, --quit  ]

DESCRIPTION

       rep `librep' is a dialect of Lisp, designed to be used both as an extension language for applications and
       as  a  general purpose programming language. It was originally written to be mostly-compatible with Emacs
       Lisp, but has subsequently diverged markedly. Its aim is to combine  the  best  features  of  Scheme  and
       Common  Lisp  and  provide an environment that is comfortable for implementing both small and large scale
       systems. It tries to be a "pragmatic" programming language.

OPTIONS

       FILE   load the Lisp file FILE (from the cwd if possible, implies --batch mode)

       --batch
              Batch mode: process options and exit.

       --interp
              Interpreted mode: don't load compile Lisp files.

       -f FUNCTION --call FUNCTION
              Call the Lisp function FUNCTION.

       -l FILE --load FILE
              Load the file of Lisp forms called FILE.

       -s FILE --scheme FILE
              Load the file of Scheme forms called FILE (implies --batch mode).

       --version
              Print version details.

       --no-rc
              Don't load rc or site-init files.

       -q --quit
              Terminate the interpreter process.
