NAME
clojure - a JVM-based dynamic programming language
SYNOPSIS
clojure [-cp/-classpath classpath] [-i/--init path] [-e/--eval expr] {-h | -r | path | -} [args ...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the clojure command.
clojure is the main entry point for Clojure, a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine. With no options or arguments, it runs an interactive Read-Eval-Print loop (REPL).
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
- -cp, -classpath classpath
-
Specifies additional classpath elements. Overrides the $CLASSPATH environment variable. Must appear first if given.
- -i, --init path
-
Load a file or resource at initialisation time. May be specified multiple times.
- -e, --eval string
-
Evaluate expressions in string; print non-nil values. May be specified multiple times.
- -m, --main ns-name
-
Call the -main function from a namespace with args
- -r, --repl
-
Run a repl
- path
-
Run a script from a file or resource
- -
-
Run a script from standard input
- -h, -?, --help
-
Print a help message and exit
PATH ARGUMENTS
A Clojure file can be provided as a path argument. Files to be loaded from the classpath must be prefixed with a `@' character, and must be an absolute path to the classpath resource. Note that the path will be treated as absolute within the classpath, whether it is prefixed with a slash or not.
clojure binds *command-line-args* to a seq containing the (optional) arguments provided after the path argument; this provides a way to provide command-line arguments to your scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
A listing of recognised environment variables is included below.
- CLASSPATH
-
Specifies additional classpath elements.
