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 sys-
       tems. 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.
