💖 GST-LOAD 💖

okay bestie, so like… this is a manual page. For gst-load. Manual name is GST-LOAD(1) and it lives in the User Commands section, and it's genuinely so useful, you're gonna be obsessed. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gst-load — test and load packages into a GNU Smalltalk image

no cap, that's the whole job. it tests stuff, it loads stuff, it puts packages in your image. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💜 Usage:

gst-load [ flag ... ] package ...

so you give it some flags, you give it one or more *package*s, and it goes to work. that's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's the whole menu, no skips, no cuts, every single one:

  • -q, --quiet — hide the output. shhh 🤫 not a word.
  • -v, --verbose — show loaded files. tell me everything bestie 👀
  • -f, --force — reload package if already loaded. yes we're doing this again, and yes, it's fine 💅
  • -n, --dry-run — don't save the image after loading. look but don't touch, main character restraint ✨
  • -t, --test — run SUnit tests if available. test it before you ship it, periodt 🧪
  • --start[=ARG] — start the package and keep running the image. it stays up and it stays iconic 🔥 (note the [=ARG], it's optional and it's cute)
  • -i, --rebuild-image — load into a newly-created image. fresh start, new me, new image 🦋
  • -I, --image-file=FILE — load into the specified image. pick your fave, FILE is the one 🌈
  • --kernel-dir=PATH — use the specified kernel directory. tell it where the PATH lives 📁
  • -h, --help — show this message. hi hello, here's the help 💖
  • --version — print version information and exit. then it leaves. queen behavior 👑
