8. Running QScheme

8.1 Syntax

s [options] files

8.2 Options

-hs=<n>
the heap block size. The number of object that can be stored in a block heap is n*1024, and the number of block heap we can use is only limited by the virtual memory of the computer.
-ds=<n>
the stack size. The number of object's reference that can be stored on the stack. n is a number of kilobytes.
-ni
do not read the initial file

8.3 Note

The heap block size does not seem to have big impact on performance yet. The default value is 32k now which seems to be a good value.

8.4 Environment

During the initialization of Qscheme, the interpreters tries to load a file named s.scm . The location where this file should be is:

So, to sumarize, the search order is always first the current directory and then the directory pointed by the QS_LIB environement variable.
