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

In an order of utility/frequency.

install

  : Install a given implementation (e.g. sbcl, ccl) or a system (e.g. alexandria) for roswell environment. See _ros-install_(1).

init [name[.ros]]

  : Create a new ros script. `.ros` is optional, and is added automaticaly. See _ros-init_.

dump [executable|output] [script]

  : Dump an image of the script for the faster startup or to make an executable. See _ros-dump_.

build

  : Make an executable from the script. See _ros-build_.

run

  : Initiate REPL. See _ros-run_.

use

  : Change the default implementation used by roswell. See _ros-use_.

list

  : List the various informations. See _ros-list_.

config

  : Get and set the options. See _ros-config_.

setup

  : Run the initial setup. See _ros-setup_.

emacs

  : Launch emacs with slime. See _ros-emacs_.

wait

  : Wait forever, used for daemonizing the script. See _ros-wait_.

delete

  : Delete an installed implementation. See _ros-delete_.

version

  : Show the roswell version information. See _ros-version_.

help

-q          --quit               

  : quit lisp here

-r FUNC     --restart FUNC       

  : the build image restarts from calling FUNC

-E FUNC     --entry FUNC         

  : the build image restarts from calling (FUNC argv).

-i FORM     --init FORM          

  : evaluate FORM after the restart.

-ip FORM    --print FORM         

  : evaluate and princ FORM after the restart

-iw FORM    --write FORM         

  : evaluate and write FORM after the restart

-F FORM     --final FORM         

  : evaluate FORM before dumping the IMAGE

-R          --rc                 

  : try to read /etc/rosrc, ~/.roswell/init.lisp

+R          --no-rc              

  : skip /etc/rosrc, ~/.roswell/init.lisp

-Q          --quicklisp          

  : load quicklisp (default)

+Q          --no-quicklisp       

  : do not load quicklisp

-v          --verbose            

  : be quite verbose while building

--quiet

  : suppress output while building (default)

--test

  : for test purpose

dynamic-space-size=[size in MB]

  : SBCL specific. The argument is passed to SBCL by `--dynamic-space-size`
