clisp [-x expressions...] [lisp-file [argument...]]
-x expressions Executes a series of arbitrary expressions instead of a read-eval-print loop.
-c lisp-file Compiles the specified lisp-files to bytecode (*.fas). Imposes batch mode.
-o outputfile Specifies the output file or directory for -c.
-i init-file Specifies initialization files to be LOADed at startup.
-p package At startup the value of the variable *PACKAGE* will be set to the package named package.
-norc Prevents loading of the RC file.
-q quiet
-ansi Comply with the ANSI CL standard
-repl Start an interactive read-eval-print loop after processing the -c, -x, and lisp-file options
-on-error action appease, debug, abort, exit
