NAME
Smalltalk - the GNU Smalltalk virtual(5,8) machine
DESCRIPTION
GNU Smalltalk usage:
gst [ flag ... ] [ file(1,n) ...]
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(7,n,1 builtins) of flags is:
-a --smalltalk
Pass the remaining arguments to Smalltalk
-c --core-dump
Dump core on fatal signal(2,7)
-d --declaration-trace-user
Trace compilation of files on the command line
-D --declaration-trace-all
Trace compilation of all loaded files
-e --execution-trace-user
Trace execution of files on the command line
-E --execution-trace-all
Trace execution of all loaded files
-g --no-gc-message
Do not print garbage collection messages
-H -h -? --help
Print this message and exit(3,n,1 builtins)
-i --rebuild-image
Ignore the image file(1,n); rebuild it from scratch
-I --image-file file(1,n)
Instead of `gst.im', use `file(1,n)' as the image file(1,n), and ignore
the kernel files' timestamps
-K --kernel-file file(1,n)
Make file(1,n)'s path relative to the image path.
-l --log-changes
Log changes in(1,8) `change-log.st'
-L --log-file file(1,n)
Log changes in(1,8) file(1,n) `file(1,n)'
-p --emacs-mode
Execute as a `process' (from within Emacs)
-q --quiet --silent
Do not print execution information
-Q --no-messages
Run Smalltalk with -q -g and no startup banner
-r --regression-test
Run in(1,8) regression test mode, i.e. make printed messages constant
-S --snapshot
Save a snapshot just before exiting
-v --version
Print the Smalltalk version(1,3,5) number and exit(3,n,1 builtins)
-V --verbose
Print names of loaded files and execution stats
-y --yacc-debug
Turn on debugging in(1,8) the parser
- 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.
