Guile also comes with a growing number of command-line utilities: a
compiler, a disassembler, some module inspectors, and in the future, a
system to install Guile packages from the internet. These tools may be
invoked using the guild program.
$ guild compile -o foo.go foo.scm wrote `foo.go'
This program used to be called guile-tools up to
Guile version 2.0.1, and for backward
compatibility it still may be called as such. However we changed the
name to guild, not only because it is pleasantly shorter and
easier to read, but also because this tool will serve to bind Guile
wizards together, by allowing hackers to share code with each other
using a CPAN-like system.
See Compilation, for more on guild compile.
A complete list of guild scripts can be had by invoking guild
list, or simply guild.
