'guile-tools' is a wrapper program and installed along w/ `guile'; it knows where a particular module is installed and calls it passing its args to the program. The result is that you need not augment your PATH.
Usage is straightforward: guile-tools --help guile-tools --version guile-tools [OPTION] PROGRAM [ARGS ...]
When Guile is installed, in addition to the `(ice-9 FOO)' modules, a set of "executable modules" `(scripts BAR)' is also installed. Each is a regular Scheme module that has some additional packaging so that it can be called as a program in its own right, from the shell. For this reason, we sometimes use the term "script" in this context to mean the same thing.
If PROGRAM is "list" or omitted, display contents of scripts dir, otherwise PROGRAM is run with ARGS. Options (only one of which may be used at a time):
--scriptsdir DIR - Look in DIR for scripts --guileversion VERS - Look in $pkgdatadir/VERS/scripts for scripts --source - Display PROGRAM source (ignore ARGS) to stdout
The modules are self-documenting. For example, to see the documentation for `lint', use one (or both) of the shell commands: guile-tools display-commentary '(scripts lint)' guile-tools --source lint
