commit 900a6f87bad5c5a34f017cc6c851483758433f38
Author: Mark Harig <address@hidden>
Date:   Fri Mar 4 19:36:28 2011 -0500

    Updated Guile manual page.
    
    * doc/guile.1: Added the current month and year, Guile version
      descriptive text, and the text GNU to the title.
    
      Updated the nroff formatting commands for the SYNOPSIS and OPTIONS
      sections to what 'man' prescribes.  See 'man(1)', 'man(7)', and
      'man-pages(7)'.
    
      Corrected grammar, spelling, and capitalization (for example,
      'scheme' to 'Scheme').
    
      Vertical white-space was non-standard (two lines between some
      sections, one space between others).  Changed this to the standard
      one empty line before each section heading, and added dots (a single
      period on a line) before every section heading (.SH) so that
      maintainers will find the readability unchanged.
    
      Added white space to follow the 'groff' recommendation of starting
      every sentence on its own line, and breaking sentences at
      punctuation.
    
      Corrected an error in description of the info command.
    
      Added the missing option '--no-debug', and the short switches '-h'
      and '-v'.
    
      Changed the description of the environment variable
      GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH so that it references the Guile variable
      `%load-compiled-path' instead of the variable `%load-path'.
    
      Updated the copyright to include 2011.

-.IP -L DIRECTORY
-Add DIRECTORY to the front of Guile's module load path.
-.IP -l FILE
-Load scheme source code from file.
-.IP -e FUNCTION
-After reading script, apply FUNCTION to command-line arguments.  Note
-that FUNCTION is evaluated, so e.g.

 The "meta switch", used to work around limitations in #! scripts.
-See "The Meta Switch" in the texinfo documentation, for more details.
-.IP --
-Stop argument processing, start guile in interactive mode.
-.IP -c EXPR
-Stop argument processing, evaluate EXPR as a scheme expression.
-.IP -s SCRIPT-FILE
-Load Scheme source from SCRIPT-FILE and execute as a script.  Note that
-the in many cases it is not necessary to use -s; one may invoke Guile
-just as
-.B guile SCRIPT-FILE ARG...
-.IP -ds
-Do -s SCRIPT at this point.  Note that this argument must be used in

-.IP --debug
-Start guile with the debugging VM.  By default, on when invoked
-interactively, off otherwise.
