🌸 REP(1) — the librep interpreter, bestie edition 🌸

okay so this is the manual page for rep, aka the librep interpreter. that's it, that's the name section. we're already iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rep [ options ][ FILE [ SCRIPT-OPTIONS .. ] ]

like, that's the whole vibe. you got options, you optionally got a file, and then you optionally got stuff for that file. slay.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

rep is the librep interpreter, which is a dialect of Lisp. yes bestie, parentheses. we love her. 🫶

Unless you explicitly ask for batch mode, rep just... enters interactive mode. it wants to hang out with you. it wants to chat. it's giving main character energy fr fr.

Read Info for the details. (iykyk — the Info system is where the real lore lives 📖✨)

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay here's the full lineup, no skips, every single one, periodt:

  • FILE — load the Lisp file FILE. heads up though: this implies --batch. so the moment you name a file, you're in batch mode whether you planned on it or not. plot twist. 😭
  • SCRIPT-OPTIONS — these get passed to Lisp through the command-line-args variable. it's how your script gets to hear what you said to it. 🦋
  • --batch — Batch mode: process the options and then exit. in and out. no small talk. 💅
  • --interp — Interpreted mode: don't load compile Lisp files. we're doing this the slow, cozy way. 🧚
  • -f FUNCTION, --call FUNCTION — Call the Lisp function FUNCTION. just... calling her up. 📞
  • -l FILE, --load FILE — Load the file of Lisp forms called FILE. (different from naming FILE up in the synopsis — that one drags batch mode along with it, this one is just a lil load ✨)
  • --version — Print version details. gotta know which queen you're running. 👑
  • --no-rc — Don't load rc or site-init files. skipping the pregame, we're going straight to the function. 🍓
  • -q, --quit — Terminate the interpreter process. bye bestie, it was real 🌈

signing off from the very bottom of the page: this one's dated 04 avril 2003, it lives under REP(1), and yes the date is in French because she's cultured like that. 💖✨
