Invokes the Common Lisp interpreter and compiler.
Invoked without arguments, executes a read-eval-print loop, in which
expressions are in turn read from standard input, evaluated by the lisp
interpreter, and their results output to standard output.
Invoked with -c, compiles
the specified lisp files to a bytecode that can be executed
more efficiently.
-h,
--helpclisp.--versionclisp version number, as given by the
function call (lisp-implementation-version).--license-B
lisplibdirclisp executable.
Directory lisplibdir can be changed at run-time using the
symbol-macro *lib-directory*.
-K
linking-setbase,
full. The default is base.
-M
memfilesaveinitmem function.
It may have been compressed using GNU gzip.
-m
memsizeclisp tries to grab on startup.
The amount may be given as
K or
nnnn KB (measured in kilobytes) orM or
n MB (measured in megabytes).clisp
is not likely to actually use the entire memsize
since garbage collection will periodically reduce the amount of used memory.
It is therefore common to specify 10 MB even if only 2 MB are going to be used.
-L
languageclisp
uses to communicate with the user.
This may be
english, deutsch, francais,
espanol, dutch.
Other languages may be specified through the environment variable
LANG,
provided the corresponding message catalog is installed.
The language may be changed at run-time using the symbol macro
*current-language*,
-N
localedirclisp
will search its message catalogs in
localedir/language/LC_MESSAGES/clisp.mo.
This directory may be changed at run-time using the symbol macro
*current-language*,

--quiet,
--silentclisp displays no banner at startup and no
good-bye message when quitting.-w-Iclisp
interacts in a way that ILISP can deal with.
Currently the only effect of this is that unnecessary prompts are not
suppressed.
Furthermore, the GNU readline library treats Tab as a
normal self-inserting character.
-ansi*ansi* to t.
See "Maximum ANSI CL compliance",
for details.-traditional-ansi
in the saved image.-p
packagename*package* will
be set to the package named packagename.
The default is the package which was active when the image was
saved, normally
USER.-C*load-compiling*
will be set to t.
Code being loaded will then be compiled on the fly.
This results in slower loading, but faster execution.-norcclisp loads a user run control (RC) file on
startup (this happens after the -C
option is processed).
The file loaded is
${HOME}/.clisprc.lisp or ${HOME}/.clisprc.fas,
whichever is newest. This option, -norc, prevents loading of
the RC file.-i
initfile ...loaded
at startup. These should be lisp files (source or compiled).
Several -i options can be given; all the specified
files will be loaded in order.-c
lispfile ...loaded instead of the sources to
gain efficiency.-o
outputfile-lcompile-file
for details.-x
expressions*args*
will be bound to a list of strings, representing the arguments.
The first line of lispfile may start with #!,
thus permitting clisp to be used as a script interpreter.
If lispfile is -,
the standard input is used instead of a file.
If lispfile is an empty string "",
the rest of the arguments is still available in *args*,
for parsing by the init-function
of the current image.
This option must be the last one.
No RC file will be executed.The language implemented mostly conforms to
ANSI Common Lisp standard X3.226-1994
available online as the
Common Lisp HyperSpec ("CLHS" for short)
which supersedes the earlier specifications

(for the FFI)CLISP_LANGUAGEclisp
uses to communicate with the user.
The value may be english, deutsch,
francais and defaults to english.
The -L option can be used to
override this environment variable.LC_CTYPElanguage or
language_country or
language_country.charset,
where language is a two-letter ISO 639 language code
(lower case), country is a two-letter ISO 3166 country
code (upper case). charset is an optional character set
specification, and needs normally not be given because the character
set can be inferred from the language and country.LANGclisp
uses to communicate with the user, unless it is already specified
through the environment variable CLISP_LANGUAGE or the
-L option.
It also specifies the locale determining the character set in use, unless
already specified through the environment variable LC_CTYPE.
The value may begin with a two-letter ISO 639 language code, for example
en, de, fr.HOME and USERuser-homedir-pathname. (Unix implementation only.)SHELL (Unix implementation only)(shell).TERMimpnotes.html,
