NAME
mit-scheme — The MIT/GNU Scheme development environment
SYNOPSIS
mit-scheme [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
MIT/GNU Scheme is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, providing an interpreter, compiler, source-code debugger, integrated Emacs-like editor, and a large runtime library. MIT/GNU Scheme is best suited to programming large applications with a rapid development cycle.
OPTIONS
These are some of the more common command-line options. For full information about available options, see the Texinfo documentation. Additional options may also be supported by the band. Use the --help option (last) to see descriptions of all available command-line options.

--help |
Report available command-line options, then exit. |
--version
Report various version numbers and copyright information, then exit.
--heap NBLOCKS
Specify the size of the heap in 1024-word blocks.
--stack NBLOCKS
Specify the size of the stack in 1024-word blocks.
--library PATH
Specify where to look for Scheme’s binary files. PATH should be a colon-separated list of directory names.
--option-summary
Print the actual values of the machine parameters (like those above).

FILES
.scheme.init or SCHEME.INI
Scheme loads this file first, if it exists in the user’s home directory.
/usr/lib/<architecture>/mit-scheme/
Support files.
/usr/bin/mit-scheme-<architecture>
Architecture-specific executable.
/usr/bin/mit-scheme
Link to architecture-specific executable, to allow multiarch installation. When multiple architectures are installed, use update-alternatives(8) to choose.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
MIT/GNU Scheme refers to a large number of environment variables. See the Texinfo documentation for details.
EXAMPLES
To use the evaluator in a command-line interface, type:
mit-scheme
To start the editor and use it as a front-end to the evaluator, type:
