NAME
       rep - Read, Eval, Print Interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       rep  [  FILE ]  [  --batch ]  [  --interp ]  [  -f, --call
       FUNCTION ]  [  -l, --load FUNCTION ]  [  -s, --scheme FILE
       ]  [  --version ]  [  --no-rc ]  [  -q, --quit ]


DESCRIPTION
       rep  `librep'  is  a  dialect of Lisp, designed to be used
       both as an extension language for applications  and  as  a
       general  purpose  programming  language. It was originally
       written to be mostly-compatible with Emacs Lisp,  but  has
       subsequently  diverged markedly. Its aim is to combine the
       best features of Scheme and Common  Lisp  and  provide  an
       environment  that  is  comfortable  for  implementing both
       small and large scale systems. It tries  to  be  a  "prag-
       matic" programming language.

OPTIONS
       FILE   load  the Lisp file FILE (from the cwd if possible,
              implies --batch mode)

       --batch
              Batch mode: process options and exit.

       --interp
              Interpreted mode: don't load compile Lisp files.

       -f FUNCTION --call FUNCTION
              Call the Lisp function FUNCTION.

       -l FILE --load FILE
              Load the file of Lisp forms called FILE.

       -s FILE --scheme FILE
              Load the file of Scheme forms called FILE  (implies
              --batch mode).

       --version
              Print version details.

       --no-rc
              Don't load rc or site-init files.

       -q --quit
              Terminate the interpreter process.
