RACKET(1)

💖 RACKET(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for racket — the core Racket implementation — from the General Commands Manual. it's giving "the main character of the Racket universe" and honestly? iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

racket — the core Racket implementation. that's it, that's the queen. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

racket [ option ...  ] [ argument ...  ]

like, you give it some options, you give it some arguments, and it does the thing. simple as that, no cap. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so if you're ever like "wait what can this even do", just run:

racket --help

and it will spill a whole list of command-line options and other start-up information. it's literally the vibe check for the entire program. 🙈

okay now the important part, bestie, listen up:

• Supplying no arguments to racket is the same as supplying the -i option for interactive evaluation. so an empty call is lowkey a full-on REPL invite. 🫶
• Supplying non-switch, non-configuration arguments to racket is the same as putting -u before the arguments to run the first one as a module-based script. so it just goes ahead and runs your first argument like that, no extra steps needed. periodt. 💫

🌈 MORE INFORMATION 🌈

need more? (we love a curious queen ✨) just run:

raco docs

and it will open installed documentation in your web browser. boom. docs delivered to your screen, zero effort. 🎀

or, alternately, you can consult the on-line documentation and other information available at:

go forth and read, bestie. 📚💖
