Related:
- There is no description in the Guile manual page,
guile.1, or the Guile Reference Manual, guile.info*, of
the environment variable GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE.
- The reference manual also briefly mentions the
environment variable GUILE_HISTORY (it describes the
default value as `.guile_history', but does not mention
its default location, presumably $HOME, correct?), but
the manual page does not mention it.
- Is there an environment variable that can specify the
name of the Guile initialization file (default: .guile)?
- Are there any other environment variables that are not
documented in the Guile Reference Manual?
- For comparison, the Emacs manual includes a section
describing the environment variables that may effect it
when it is invoked. See the Info node "(emacs)
Environment" (a subsection of the appendix "Invoking
Emacs").
