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 cur-
     rently 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 ker-
	    nel 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 parame-
     ter after that file is passed to the Smalltalk program.
