SMALLTALK(1)                     User Commands                    SMALLTALK(1)

NAME
       Smalltalk - the GNU Smalltalk virtual machine

DESCRIPTION
       GNU Smalltalk usage:

              gst [ flag ... ] [ file ... ] gst [ flag ... ] { -f | --file }
              file [ args ... ]

       Short flags can appear either as -xyz or as -x -y -z.  If an option is
       mandatory for a long option, it is also mandatory for a short one. The
       currently defined set of flags is:

       -a --smalltalk-args
              Pass the remaining arguments to Smalltalk.

       -c --core-dump
              Dump core on fatal signal.

       -D --declaration-trace
              Trace compilation of all loaded files.

       -E --execution-trace
              Trace execution of all loaded files.

       -g --no-gc-message
              Do not print garbage collection messages.

       -H --help
              Print this message and exit.

       -i --rebuild-image
              Ignore the image file; rebuild it from scratch.

       --maybe-rebuild-image
              Rebuild the image file from scratch if any kernel file is newer.

       -I --image FILE
              Instead of `gst.im', use FILE as the image file, and ignore the
              kernel files' timestamps.

       -K --kernel-file FILE
              Make FILE's path relative to the image path.

       -q --quiet --silent
              Do not print execution information.

       -r --regression-test
              Run in regression test mode, i.e. make printed messages
              constant.

       -S --snapshot
              Save a snapshot just before exiting.

       -v --version
              Print the Smalltalk version number and exit.

       -V --verbose
              Show names of loaded files and execution stats.

       --emacs-mode
              Execute as a `process' (from within Emacs)

       --kernel-directory DIR
              Look for kernel files in directory DIR.

       --no-user-files
              Don't read user customization files.

       -      Read input from standard input explicitly.

       Files are loaded one after the other.  After the last one is loaded,
       Smalltalk will exit.  If no files are specified, Smalltalk reads from
       the terminal, with prompts.

       In the second form, the file after -f is the last loaded file; any
       parameter after that file is passed to the Smalltalk program.
