Usage: red [options] [file]

[file]: any Red or Red/System source file. If no file and no option is provided, the graphical interactive console will be launched. If a file with no option is provided, the file will be simply run by the interpreter (it is expected to be a Red script with no Red/System code).

Note: On Non-Windows platforms, the REPL runs by default in CLI mode. But on Windows, the default is to run as gui-mode. To run it in the command line mode, invoke the red binary with the option `--cli`.

[options]:
    --cli                          : Run the command-line REPL instead of the
                                     graphical console.

    -c, --compile                  : Generate an executable in the working
                                     folder.

    -d, --debug, --debug-stabs     : Compile source file in debug mode. STABS
                                     is supported for Linux targets.

    -dlib, --dynamic-lib           : Generate a shared library from the source
                                     file.

    -h, --help                     : Output this help text.

    -o <file>, --output <file>     : Specify a non-default [path/][name] for
                                     the generated binary file.

    -r, --no-runtime               : Do not include runtime during Red/System
                                     source compilation.

    -t <ID>, --target <ID>         : Cross-compile to a different platform
                                     target than the current one (see targets
                                     table below).

    -v <level>, --verbose <level>  : Set compilation verbosity level, 1-3 for
                                     Red, 4-11 for Red/System.

    -V, --version                  : Output Red's executable version in x.y.z
                                     format.

    --red-only                     : Stop just after Red-level compilation.
                                     Use higher verbose level to see compiler
                                     output. (internal debugging purpose)
