10 guile-tools \- displays guile module information
12 /usr/bin/guile-tools [OPTION] PROGRAM [ARGS ...]
15 'guile-tools' is a wrapper program and installed along w/ `guile'; it
16 knows where a particular module is installed and calls it passing its
17 args to the program. The result is that you need not augment your PATH.
19 Usage is straightforward:
23 guile-tools [OPTION] PROGRAM [ARGS ...]
25 When Guile is installed, in addition to the `(ice-9 FOO)' modules, a
26 set of "executable modules" `(scripts BAR)' is also installed. Each
27 is a regular Scheme module that has some additional packaging so
28 that it can be called as a program in its own right, from the shell.
29 For this reason, we sometimes use the term "script" in this context
30 to mean the same thing.
32 If PROGRAM is "list" or omitted, display contents of scripts dir,
33 otherwise PROGRAM is run with ARGS. Options (only one of which may be
36 --scriptsdir DIR - Look in DIR for scripts
37 --guileversion VERS - Look in $pkgdatadir/VERS/scripts for scripts
38 --source - Display PROGRAM source (ignore ARGS) to stdout
40 The modules are self-documenting. For example, to see the
41 documentation for `lint', use one (or both) of the shell commands:
43 guile-tools display-commentary '(scripts lint)'
44 guile-tools --source lint
