NAME

   buildapp - application to create common lisp images

SYNOPSIS

   buildapp --output OUTPUT-FILE [--flag1 value1 ...]

DESCRIPTION

   Required flags:
   --output OUTPUT-FILE
          Use OUTPUT-FILE as the name of the executable to create

   Entry-point flags:
   --entry NAME
          Use the function identified by NAME as the executable's toplevel
          function. Called with SB-EXT:*POSIX-ARGV* as its only  argument.
          If  NAME  has  a  colon,  it  is treated as a package separator,
          otherwise CL-USER is the implied package.

   --dispatched-entry DNAME
          Specify one possible entry function, depending on  the  name  of
          the  file  that  is used to start the application. The syntax of
          DNAME is APPLICATION-NAME/ENTRY-NAME. If the name used to  start
          the  executable  matches APPLICATION-NAME, use ENTRY-NAME as the
          entry point. This can be used to choose  one  of  many  possible
          entry  points  by  e.g.  symlinking  names  to  the  application
          executable.  If  APPLICATION-NAME  is   empty,   the   specified
          ENTRY-NAME  is  used  as a default if no other application names
          match. There may be any number of dispatched entry  points,  but
          only one default.

   Action flags:
   --load FILE
          Load  FILE.  CL:*PACKAGE* is bound to the CL-USER package before
          loading

   --load-system NAME
          Load an ASDF system identified by NAME

   --require NAME
          Use CL:REQUIRE to load NAME

   --eval CODE
          Use  CL:EVAL  to  evaulate  CODE.  The   code   is   read   with
          CL:READ-FROM-STRING in the CL-USER package

   There may be any number of load/load-system/require/eval flags. Each is
   executed in command-line order before creating an executable.

   Load path flags:
   --load-path DIRECTORY
          When handling a --load, search DIRECTORY for files to load

   --asdf-path DIRECTORY
          When handling a --load-system, search DIRECTORY for ASDF  system
          files to load

   --asdf-tree DIRECTORY
          When  handling  a  --load-system,  search  DIRECTORY and all its
          subdirectories for ASDF system files to load

   There  may  be  any  number  of  load-path/asdf-path/asdf-tree   flags.
   asdf-path arguments take precedence over asdf-tree arguments.

   Other flags:
   --help Show this usage message

   --logfile FILE
          Log compilation and load output to FILE

   --sbcl PATH-TO-SBCL
          Use  PATH-TO-SBCL instead of the sbcl program found in your PATH
          environment variable
