Module (chicken repl)

This module provides procedures you can use to create your own Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL).

Start a new read-eval-print loop. Sets the reset-handler so that any invocation of reset restarts the read-eval-print loop. Also changes the current exception-handler to display a message, write any arguments to the value of (current-error-port) and reset.

If EVALUATOR is given, it should be a procedure of one argument that is used in place of eval to evaluate each entered expression.

You can use quit to terminate the current read-eval-print loop.

repl-prompt

[parameter] (repl-prompt)

A procedure that should evaluate to a string that will be printed before reading interactive input from the user in a read-eval-print loop. Defaults to (lambda () "#;N> ").
