🌸 NAME 🌸

fsharpi — the manual page for F# 3.0 interactive REPL (Open Source Edition) 🎀

fsharpi [options...] [script.fsx [arguments...]

(yes the brackets are exactly like that, we don't fix, we don't touch, we preserve 🫶)

💖 OPTIONS 💖

🍓 INPUT FILES

• --use:file — use the given file on startup as initial input 💫
• --load:file — #load the given file on startup
• --reference:assembly, -r assembly — reference an assembly
• -- — pass the remaning arguments to script, accessed using fsi.CommandLineArgs 👑

note: it really says "remaning" in the original and I am respectfully leaving that exactly as-is. icon of not editing the source 💀

---

🔥 CODE GENERATION

• --debug[+|-], -g — emit debug information
• --debug:[full|pdbonly] — specify debugging type: full, pdbonly. full is the default and enables attaching a debugger to a running program 🔍
• --optimize[+|-], -O — enable optimizations, go faster bestie ⚡
• --tailcalls[+|-] — enable tailcalls
• --crossoptimize[+|-] — enable cross-module optimizations

---

😭 ERRORS AND WARNINGS

• --warnaserror[+|-] — report all warnings as errors (yes, all of them, no mercy)
• --warnaserror[+|-]:warn[;warn[;...]] — report specific warnings as errors
• --warn:n — set a warning level (0-5)
• --nowarn:warn[;warn[;...]] — disable specific warning messages, we're ignoring that fr
• --warnon:warn[;warn[;...]] — enable specific warnings that may be off by default

• --codepage:n — specify the codepage used to read source files
• --utf8output — output messages in UTF-8 encoding ✨
• --fullpaths — output messages with fully qualified paths
• --lib:dir[;dir[;...]], -I dir[;dir[;...]] — specify a directory for the include path which is used to resolve source files and assemblies
• --baseaddress:address — base address for the library to be built
• --noframework — do not reference the default CLI assemblies by default
• --standalone — statically link the F# library and all referenced DLLs that depend on it into the assembly being generated
• --staticlink:assembly — statically link the given assembly and all referenced DLLs that depend on this assembly. Use an assembly name e.g. mylib, not a DLL name. ⚠️ (assembly name, NOT the DLL name, I said what I said)
• --resident — use a resident background compilation service to improve compiler startup times.
• --pdb:file — name the output debug file
• --simpleresolution — resolve assembly references using directory-based rules rather than MSBuild resolution
• --highentropyva[+|-] — enable high-entropy ASLR
• --subsystemversion:string — specify subsystem version of this assembly

---

and that's the whole page bestie, every single flag accounted for, not one skipped, we ate and left no crumbs 🎀
