ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, Solaris and Windows, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, PowerPC and ARM processors. The current ECL implementation features: • A bytecode compiler and interpreter. • Compiles Lisp also with any C/C++ compiler • Can build standalone executables and libraries • ASDF, Sockets, Gray streams, MOP, and other useful components • Extremely portable • A reasonable license ecl without any argument starts the interactive lisp session. OPTIONS -?, --help Shows the help prompt without running the ECL. -v, --version, Prints the current version of ECL, without running the ECL. --debug Turned on by default, this enables the debugging in the setup phase, so that you can debug your files. --nodebug Run without debugging setup phase, meaning that errors prevent ECL from starting up. --dir directory Use directory as a system directory. --load file Load source file before loading the .rc file and starting the toplevel. --shell file Executes the given file and exits, without providing a read-eval- print loop. If you want to use lisp as a scripting language, you can write #!${exec_prefix}/bin/ecl --shell on the first line of the file to be executed, and then ECL will be automatically invoked. --eval file Evaluate the file before loading the .rc file and starting the Top Level. --rc Load configuration files at startup (default). --norc Do not load configuration files at startup. --c-stack size Set C stack size in kilobytes for C compiler. --lisp-stack size Set stack size in kilobytes for bytecodes interpreter. --heap-stack size Set heap size in kilobytes. --frame-stack size Set frame size in kilobytes for runtime control structures. -o file Provide the output target file for compilation. -c cfile When compiling name the intermediary *.c file cfile and do not delete it afterwards. -h hfile When compiling name the intermediary *.h file hfile and do not delete it afterwards. --data [datafile] Dumps compiler data into datafile or, if not supplied, into a file named after the source file, but with .data as extension. -s Produce a linkable object file. It cannot be loaded with (load), but it can be used to build libraries or standalone executable programs. -q Short for quiet -- produce less notes. --compile file Translates file to C and invokes the local C compiler to produce a native code program. --link file+ Create standalone executable from Lisp files file+. --input-encoding encoding Specify the external encoding for standard input. --output-encoding encoding Specify the external encoding for standard output. --error-encoding encoding Specify the external encoding for standard error. --encoding encoding Specify the external encoding for standard input, output, trace and error. --trap-fpe Make ECL debugger catch floating point exception. --no-trap-fpe Disable ECL debugger floating point exception catching. AUTHORS The original version was developed by Giuseppe Attardi starting from the Kyoto Common Lisp implementation by Taiichi Yuasa, Masami Hagiya. Further development was lead by Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll. The current maintainers of ECL are Daniel Kochmaski and Marius Gerbershagen, who can be reached at the ECL mailing list. FILES ~/.ecl, ~/.eclrc Default initialization files loaded at startup unless the option --norc is provided (if they exist).
