CSIOD(1C)                                                            CSIOD(1C)


NAME

       csiod - a compiler/linker for siod


SYNOPSIS

       csiod [:o=outfile] [:m=flag] [:v=flag] [:i=val] [:p=fasl] [:e=false]
                infile ...


DESCRIPTION

       csiod Creates the outfile, default a.out, by loading all the
       expressions from the input files, and then saving the result in fast-
       loading format. A "#! interpreter-name" style header is written to the
       output file using information from the optional flag arguments.

       In non-unix environments, which lack the "#!" convention, alternative
       techniques are used. Under WIN32 and VMS a bootstrap-exe file is
       utilized.

   COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       :m=flag The flag defaults to 2, causing the procedure main to be
               invoked. Use a value of 3 for cgi scripts.

       :v=flag The flag defaults to "01" causing errors to be reported. A
               value of "0" supresses error messages, higher values cause more
               messages.  Use a value of "1" or "0" for cgi scripts.

       :i=val  The val defaults to whatever was used in the compilation of the
               csiod command itself, which is /usr/local/bin/siod by default.

       :p=parser
               The parser can be fasl or read and controls the output format
               of the data of the compiler. The read format data is human
               readable, the fasl format data is binary and in cases where
               there are many references to the same symbol name is more
               compact and faster to load.

       :BI :e=evalflag
               The .I evalflag defaults to false, if true then each file being
               compiled is loaded with regular evaluation semantics first,
               then loaded again to obtain forms for compilation. Currently
               this sort of thing matters only for uses of #.read-time-eval
               but would be important if the compiler was extended to do
               macroexpansions or other optimizations.
