93 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
94 | . | |
95 | The | |
96 | .B runlisp | |
97 | program has two main functions. | |
98 | .hP 1. | |
99 | It can be used in a script's | |
100 | .RB ` #! ' | |
101 | line to run a Common Lisp script. | |
102 | .hP 2. | |
103 | It can be used in build scripts | |
104 | to invoke a Common Lisp system, | |
105 | e.g., to build a standalone program. | |
106 | . | |
e29834b8 MW |
107 | .SS "Options" |
108 | Options are read from the command line, as usual, | |
10427eb2 MW |
109 | but also (by default) from the script's second line, |
110 | following a | |
e29834b8 | 111 | .RB ` @RUNLISP: ' |
10427eb2 | 112 | marker: see |
e29834b8 | 113 | .B Operation |

e29834b8 MW |
138 | Don't check for a custom Lisp image. |
139 | Usually, | |
140 | .B runlisp | |
141 | tries to start Lisp systems using a custom image, | |
142 | so that they'll start more quickly; | |
143 | the | |
144 | .RB ` \-D ' | |
145 | option forces the use of the default `vanilla' image | |
146 | provided with the system. | |
147 | There's not usually any good reason to prefer the vanilla image, | |
148 | except for performance comparisons, or debugging | |
149 | .B runlisp | |
150 | itself. | |

171 | Use one of the named Lisp systems. |
172 | Each | |
173 | .I sys | |
10427eb2 MW |
174 | must name a supported Lisp system; |
175 | the names are separated by a comma | |

177 | and/or one or more whitespace characters. | |
e29834b8 MW |
178 | This option may be given more than once: |
179 | the effect is the same as a single option | |
180 | listing all of the systems named, in the same order. | |
181 | If a system is named more than once, | |
182 | a warning is issued (at verbosity level 1 or higher), | |
183 | and all but the first occurrence is ignored. | |

191 | is a directory, then all of the files within | |
192 | whose names end with | |
193 | .RB ` .conf ', | |
194 | are loaded, in ascending lexicographical order; | |
195 | otherwise, | |

197 | is opened as a file. | |

225 | This may be helpful for the curious, | |
226 | in conjunction with | |

257 | If a form produces multiple values, | |
258 | they are printed on a single line, | |
259 | separated by a single space character; | |
260 | if a form produces no values at all, | |
261 | then nothing is printed \(en not even a newline character. | |
262 | This option causes | |

298 | not following a | |
299 | .RB `@ RUNLISP: ' | |
10427eb2 | 300 | marker in a script. |
e29834b8 MW |
301 | These options may be given multiple times: |
302 | they will be processed in the order given. | |
303 | If any of these options is given, then no | |
304 | .I script | |
305 | name will be parsed; | |
306 | instead, use | |
307 | .RB ` \-l ' | |
308 | to load code from files. | |
309 | The | |
310 | .IR arguments , | |
10427eb2 | 311 | ppif any, |
e29834b8 MW |
312 | are still made available to the evaluated forms and loaded files. |
313 | . | |
314 | .SS "Operation" | |
315 | The | |
316 | .B runlisp | |
317 | program behaves as follows. | |
10427eb2 MW |
318 | . |
319 | .hP 1. | |
e29834b8 MW |
320 | The first thing it does is parse its command line. |
321 | Options must precede positional arguments, | |
322 | though the boundary may be marked explicitly using | |
323 | .RB ` \-\- ' | |
324 | if desired. | |
325 | If the command line contains any of | |
326 | .RB ` \-e ', | |
327 | .RB ` \-l ', | |
328 | or | |
329 | .RB ` \-p ', | |
330 | then | |
331 | .B runlisp | |
332 | treats all of its positional arguments as | |
333 | .I arguments | |
334 | to provide to the given forms and files, | |
335 | and runs in | |
336 | .I eval | |
337 | mode; | |
338 | otherwise, the first positional argument becomes the | |
339 | .I script | |
340 | name, the remaining ones become | |
341 | .IR arguments , | |
342 | and | |
343 | .B runlisp | |
344 | runs in | |
345 | .I script | |
346 | mode. | |
10427eb2 | 347 | .hP 2. |
e29834b8 MW |
348 | In |
349 | .I script | |
350 | mode, | |
351 | .B runlisp | |
352 | reads the second line of the script file, | |
353 | and checks to see if it contains the string | |
354 | .RB ` @RUNLISP: '. | |
355 | If so, then the following text is parsed | |
356 | for | |
357 | .IR "embedded options" , | |
358 | as follows. | |
10427eb2 MW |
359 | .RS |
360 | .PP | |
e29834b8 MW |
361 | The text is split into words |
362 | separated by sequences of whitespace characters. | |
363 | Whitespace, | |
364 | and other special characters, | |
365 | can be included in a word by | |
366 | .I quoting | |
367 | or | |
368 | .IR escaping . | |
369 | Text between single quotes | |
eea3b0c7 | 370 | .BR ' \*(.. ' |
e29834b8 MW |
371 | is included literally, without any further interpretation; |
372 | text between double quotes | |
eea3b0c7 | 373 | .BR """" \*(.. """" |
e29834b8 MW |
374 | is treated literally, |
375 | except that escaping can still be used | |
376 | to escape (e.g.) double quotes and the escape character itself. | |
377 | Outside of single quotes, a backslash | |
378 | .RB ` \e ' | |
379 | causes the following character to be included in a word | |
380 | regardless of its usual meaning. | |
381 | (None of this allows a newline character | |
382 | to be included in a word: | |
383 | this is simply not possible.) | |
384 | A word which is | |
385 | .RB ` \-\- ' | |
386 | before processing quoting and escaping | |
387 | marks the end of embedded options. | |
388 | As a concession to Emacs users, | |
389 | if the sequence | |
390 | .RB ` \-*\- ' | |
391 | appears at the start of a word | |
392 | before processing quoting and escaping, | |
393 | then everything up to and including the next occurrence of | |
394 | .RB ` \-*\- ' | |
395 | is ignored. | |
10427eb2 | 396 | .PP |
e29834b8 MW |
397 | The resulting list of words |
398 | is processed as if it held further command-line options. | |
10427eb2 MW |
399 | Currently, only |
400 | .RB ` \-D ' | |
401 | and | |
402 | .RB ` \-L ' | |
403 | options are permitted in embedded option lists: | |
404 | .RB ` \-h ' | |
405 | and | |
406 | .RB ` \-v ' | |
407 | are clearly only useful in interactive use; | |
408 | setting | |
409 | .RB ` \-q ' | |
410 | or | |
411 | .RB ` \-v ' | |
412 | would just be annoying; | |
413 | setting | |
414 | .RB ` \-c ' | |
415 | or | |
416 | .RB ` \-o ' | |
417 | would override the user's command-line settings; | |
418 | it's clearly too late to set | |
419 | .RB ` \-E '; | |
420 | and | |
e29834b8 MW |
421 | .B runlisp |
422 | is now committed to | |
423 | .I script | |
10427eb2 | 424 | mode, so it's too late for |
e29834b8 MW |
425 | .RB ` \-e ', |
426 | .RB ` \-l ', | |
427 | and | |
428 | .RB ` \-p ' | |
10427eb2 MW |
429 | too. |
430 | .PP | |
e29834b8 MW |
431 | (This feature allows scripts to provide options even if they use |
432 | .BR env (1) | |
433 | to find | |
434 | .B runlisp | |
435 | on the | |
436 | .BR PATH , | |
437 | or to provide more than one option, | |
438 | since many operating systems pass the text following | |
439 | the interpreter name on a | |
440 | .RB ` #! ' | |
441 | line as a single argument, without further splitting it at spaces.) | |

466 | .RB ` \-L ' | |
10427eb2 | 467 | options have been found, |
e29834b8 MW |

477 | then | |
478 | .B runlisp | |
479 | prints a warning to stderr | |
480 | and ignores all but the first occurrence.) | |
481 | If no | |
482 | .RB ` \-L ' | |

484 | .B runlisp | |
485 | uses a default list, | |

491 | The list of |

10427eb2 MW |
494 | If the environment variable |
495 | .B RUNLISP_PREFER | |
496 | is set, | |
497 | then its value should be a list of names of Lisp implementations | |

500 | .B prefer | |
501 | in the | |

503 | configuration section, | |
504 | then its (expanded) value should be a list of Lisp implementations, | |
505 | in the same way. | |

511 | is running in |
512 | .I eval | |
513 | mode, then a new command line is built, | |
514 | which invokes an internal script, | |

516 | and load the requested files. | |

519 | Acceptable Lisp implementations are tried in turn. |
520 | First, the preferred implementations | |
521 | which are also listed as acceptable implementations | |
522 | are tried, in the order in which they appear | |
523 | in the preferred implementations list; | |
524 | then, the remaining acceptable implementations are tried | |
525 | in the order in which they appear | |
526 | in the acceptable implementations list. | |

527 | .RS |
528 | .PP | |
529 | A Lisp implementation is defined by a configuration section | |
530 | which defines a variable | |
531 | .BR run-script . | |
532 | The name of the configuration section | |
533 | is the name of the Lisp implementation, | |
534 | as used in the acceptable and preferred lists described above. | |
535 | .hP (a) | |
536 | The variable | |
537 | .B image-file | |
538 | is looked up in the configuration section. | |
539 | If a value is found, then | |
540 | .B runlisp | |
541 | looks up and expands | |
542 | .BR image-path , | |
543 | and checks to see if a file exists with the resulting name. | |
544 | If so, it sets the variable | |
545 | .B @image | |
546 | to | |
547 | .B t | |
548 | in the configuration section. | |
549 | .hP (b) | |
550 | The variable | |
551 | .B run-script | |
552 | is expanded and word-split. | |
553 | The | |
554 | .I script | |
555 | (an internal script, in | |
556 | .I eval | |
557 | mode) | |
558 | and | |
559 | .IR argument s | |
560 | are appended, and | |
561 | the entire list is passed to the | |
e29834b8 MW |
562 | .BR execvp (3) |
563 | function. | |
564 | If that succeeds, the Lisp implementation runs; | |
565 | if it fails with | |
566 | .B ENOENT | |
567 | then other Lisp systems are tried; | |
568 | if it fails with some other error, then | |
569 | .B runlisp | |
570 | reports an error message to stderr | |
571 | and exits unsuccessfully | |
572 | (with code 127). | |
573 | If the | |
574 | .RB ` \-n ' | |
575 | option was given, then | |
576 | .B runlisp | |
577 | just simulates the behaviour of | |
578 | .BR execvp (3), | |
579 | printing messages to stderr | |
580 | if the verbosity level is sufficiently high, | |
581 | and exits. | |

583 | .SS "Script environment" | |
10427eb2 MW |
584 | Many Lisp implementations don't provide a satisfactory environment |
585 | for scripts to run in. | |
586 | The actual task of invoking a Lisp implementation | |
587 | is left to configuration, | |
588 | but the basic configuration supplied with | |
e29834b8 | 589 | .B runlisp |
10427eb2 | 590 | ensures the following facts about their environment. |
e29834b8 MW |
591 | .hP \*o |
592 | The keyword | |
593 | .B :runlisp-script | |
594 | is added to the | |
595 | .B *features* | |
596 | list if | |
597 | .B runlisp | |
598 | is running in | |
599 | .I script | |
600 | mode. | |
601 | .hP \*o | |
602 | Most Lisp systems support a user initialization file | |
603 | which they load before entering the REPL; | |
604 | some also have a system initialization file. | |
605 | The | |
606 | .B runlisp | |
607 | program arranges | |
608 | .I not | |
609 | to read these files, | |
610 | so that the Lisp environment is reasonably predictable, | |
611 | and to avoid slowing down script startup | |
612 | with things which are convenient for use in an interactive session, | |
613 | but can't be relied upon by a script anyway. | |
614 | .hP \*o | |
615 | The Unix standard input, standard output, and standard error files | |
616 | are available through the Lisp | |
617 | .BR *standard-input* , | |
618 | .BR *standard-output* , | |
619 | and | |
620 | .BR *error-output* | |
621 | streams, respectively. | |
622 | .hP \*o | |
623 | Both | |
624 | .B *compile-verbose* | |
625 | and | |
626 | .B *load-verbose* | |
627 | are set to nil. | |
628 | On CMU\ CL, | |
629 | .B ext:*require-verbose* | |
630 | is also nil. | |
631 | Alas, this is insufficient to muffle noise while loading add-on systems | |
632 | on some implementations. | |
633 | .hP \*o | |
634 | If an error is signalled, and not caught by user code, | |
635 | then the process will print a message to stderr | |
636 | and exit with a nonzero status. | |
637 | The reported message may be a long, ugly backtrace, | |
638 | or a terse error report. | |
639 | If no error is signalled but not caught, | |
640 | then the process will exit with status 0. | |
641 | .hP \*o | |
642 | The initial package is | |
643 | .BR COMMON-LISP-USER , | |
644 | which has no symbols `present' (i.e., imported or interned). | |
645 | .hP \*o | |
646 | The | |
647 | .B asdf | |
648 | and | |
649 | .B uiop | |
650 | systems are already loaded. | |
651 | Further systems can be loaded using | |
652 | .B asdf:load-system | |
653 | as usual. | |
654 | The script name | |
655 | (which is only meaningful if | |
656 | .B runlisp | |
657 | is in | |
658 | .I script | |
659 | mode, obviously) | |
660 | and arguments are available through the | |
661 | .B uiop:argv0 | |
662 | function and | |
663 | .B uiop:*command-line-arguments* | |
664 | variable, respectively. | |

669 | .hP \*o |
670 | Loading ASDF systems is irritatingly noisy | |
671 | with some Lisp implementations. | |
672 | Suggestions for how to improve this are welcome. | |
673 | .hP \*o | |
674 | More Lisp implementations should be supported. | |
675 | I've supported the ones I have installed. | |
676 | I'm not willing to put a great deal of effort into supporting | |
677 | non-free Lisp implementations; | |
678 | but help supporting free Lisps is much appreciated. | |
679 | .hP \*o | |
680 | The protocol for passing the script name through to | |
681 | .B uiop | |
682 | (specifically, through the | |
683 | .B __CL_ARGV0 | |
684 | environment variable) | |
685 | is terribly fragile, | |
686 | but supporting | |
687 | .B uiop | |
688 | is obviously a better approach than introducing a | |
689 | .BR runlisp -specific | |
690 | interface to the same information. | |
691 | I don't know how to fix this: | |
692 | suggestions are welcome. | |
