Roswell - Common Lisp environment setup Utility

Synopsis

• ros [options] [command [args...]
• ros [options] [--]script [args...]
• ros [options] < script.ros

Description

Roswell is a command line tool for installing and managing Common Lisp implementations, as well as a scripting infrastructure for templating, writing, executing, compiling, distributing, downloading and installing ROSWELL-SCRIPTS written in Common Lisp.

Currently roswell supports sbcl, ccl, clisp and ecl as its supported lisp implementations. For further details see ros-install(1).

Scripts installed by roswell will be system wide if appropriate directory is included in PATH.

Subcommands

-q –quit

quit lisp here

-r FUNC –restart FUNC

the build image restarts from calling FUNC

-E FUNC –entry FUNC

-i FORM –init FORM

evaluate FORM after the restart.

-ip FORM –print FORM

evaluate and princ FORM after the restart

-iw FORM –write FORM
