description
GNU Guile is an
interpreter for the Scheme programming language. It
implements R5RS, providing additional features necessary for
real-world use. It is extremely simple to embed guile into a
C program, calling C from Scheme and Scheme from C.
Guile’s design makes it very suitable for use as an
"extension" or "glue" language, but it
also works well as a stand-alone scheme development
environment.
The
guile executable itself provides a stand-alone
interpreter for scheme programs, for either interactive use
or executing scripts.
This manpage
provides only brief instruction in invoking guile
from the command line. Please consult the guile info
documentation (type info guile at a command prompt)
for more information. There is also a tutorial (info
guile-tut) available.
options
-l
Load scheme source code from
file.
-e
After reading script, apply FUNCTION to command-line
arguments
-ds
do -s SCRIPT at this point (note that this argument must
be used in conjuction with -s)
--help
Describe command line options and exit
--debug
Start guile with debugging
evaluator and backtraces enabled (useful for debugging guile
scripts)
--version
Display guile version and
exit.
--emacs
Enable emacs protocol for use
from within emacs (experimental)
--
Stop argument processing, start guile in interactive
mode.
-c
Stop argument processing, evaluate EXPR as a scheme
expression.
-s
Load Scheme source from SCRIPT-FILE and execute as a
script.
environment
GUILE_LOAD_PATH
If $GUILE_LOAD_PATH is set, its value is used to agument
the path to search for scheme files when loading. It should be a
colon separated list of directories which will be prepended to
the default %load-path.
files
~/.guile is a guile script that is executed before any
other processing occurs. For example, the following .guile
activates guileās readline interface:
(use-modules (ice-9 readline))
(activate-readline)

The full
documentation for guile is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
If the info and guile programs are properly installed at
your site, the command
info
guile
should give you
access to the complete manual.
http://www.schemers.org
provides a general introduction to the Scheme language.
