CSI(1)

💖 CSI(1) — The CHICKEN Scheme interpreter 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for csi, and she’s literally the CHICKEN Scheme interpreter. no cap. not me being obsessed with a command-line interpreter, but here we are 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

csi — The CHICKEN Scheme interpreter

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

csi [OPTION ...] [FILENAME ...]

📝 DESCRIPTION 📝

csi is an interpreter for the programming language Scheme, and it supports most of the features as described in the Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. It’s implemented as a program compiled with the CHICKEN compiler. iconic behavior, honestly. 🐔✨

FILENAME is a Scheme source file name with optional extension. OPTION may be one of the following:

• -h, -help — displays usage and exits. bye bestie 👋
• -version — displays version and exits.
• -release — prints release number and exits.
• -i, -case-insensitive — enables case-insensitive reading. case girlies rise 💅
• -e EXPRESSION, -eval EXPRESSION — evaluates the given expression.
• -p EXPRESSION, -print EXPRESSION — evaluates and prints the result(s). receipts!
• -P EXPRESSION, -pretty-print EXPRESSION — evaluates and prints result(s) prettily. aesthetic output moment ✨
• -D SYMBOL, -feature SYMBOL — registers feature identifier.
• -no-feature SYMBOL — disables built-in feature identifier.
• -q, -quiet — does not print banner. quiet luxury 🎀
• -n, -no-init — does not load initialization file .csirc.
• -b, -batch — terminates after command-line processing.
• -w, -no-warnings — disables all warnings.
• -K STYLE, -keyword-style STYLE — enables alternative keyword-syntax. STYLE is prefix, suffix, or none. pick your fighter ⭐
• -no-parentheses-synonyms — disables list delimiter synonyms.
• -r7rs-syntax — disables the CHICKEN extensions to R7RS syntax. R7RS purist era 🦋
• -s PATHNAME, -script PATHNAME — uses interpreter for shell scripts.
• -ss PATHNAME — runs a script with a main procedure. main character energy 👑
• -sx PATHNAME — same as -s, but prints each expression as it is evaluated.
• -setup-mode — prefers the current directory when locating extensions.
• -R NAME, -require-extension NAME — imports extension before executing code.
• -I PATHNAME, -include-path PATHNAME — adds PATHNAME to the include path.
• -- — ignores all following options. nothing to see here 🙈

🌿 ENVIRONMENT 🌿

The following environment variables change the behaviour of csi:

• CSI_OPTIONS — when set to a string of command-line options, those options are passed implicitly to every direct or indirect invocation of csi. Note that runtime options of the form -:⟨OPTIONS⟩ cannot be passed using this method. iykyk 💀
• CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH — contains one or more pathnames where the interpreter should also look for include files, separated by ; characters. 🫶

🎀 FILES 🎀

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chicken/csirc — Scheme file loaded on startup. ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to $HOME/.config.) config queen 💖
• $HOME/.csirc — Scheme file loaded on startup if the previous one doesn’t exist. lowkey backup init vibes

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

The csi utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. periodt. ✨
