# clojure-repl(1)

Clojure read-eval-print loop

## NAME

clojure-repl - Clojure read-eval-print loop

## SYNOPSIS

**clojure-repl** \[*-cp/-classpath classpath*\]  \[script.clj *...*\] \[-- *args ...*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **clojure-repl** command.

**clojure-repl** provides a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for the Clojure language. Any number of Clojure files can be provided as path arguments; these files are loaded in order, as if via *load-file*, before control is passed to the REPL.  Script files are loaded into the same namespace in which the REPL runs.

**clojure-repl** binds *\*command-line-args\** to a seq containing the (optional) arguments provided after the two dashes (--).

**clojure-repl** is **deprecated**; please instead use [**clojure**(1)](/clojure/1.md) which includes a REPL mode.

## OPTIONS

  Specifies additional classpath elements.  This option overrides the $CLASSPATH environment variable.

## ENVIRONMENT
