NAME

       clojure - a JVM-based dynamic programming language

SYNOPSIS

       clojure  [-cp/-classpath classpath] [-i/--init path] [-e/--eval expr] {-h | -r | path | -}
       [args ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the clojure command.

       clojure is the main entry point for Clojure, a dynamic programming language  that  targets
       the  Java  Virtual  Machine.    With no options or arguments, it runs an interactive Read-
       Eval-Print loop (REPL).

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -cp, -classpath classpath
              Specifies additional classpath  elements.   Overrides  the  $CLASSPATH  environment
              variable.  Must appear first if given.

       -i, --init path
              Load a file or resource at initialisation time.  May be specified multiple times.

       -e, --eval string
              Evaluate  expressions  in  string; print non-nil values.  May be specified multiple
              times.

       -r, --repl
              Run a repl

       path   Run a script from a file or resource

       -      Run a script from standard input

       -h, -?, --help
              Print a help message and exit

PATH ARGUMENTS

       A Clojure file can be provided as a path argument.  Files to be loaded from the  classpath
       must  be  prefixed  with  a  `@'  character, and must be an absolute path to the classpath
       resource.  Note that the path will be treated as absolute within the classpath, whether it
       is prefixed with a slash or not.

       clojure  binds  *command-line-args*  to a seq containing the (optional) arguments provided
       after the path argument; this provides a way to provide  command-line  arguments  to  your
       scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       A listing of recognised environment variables is included below.

       CLASSPATH
              Specifies additional classpath elements.
