racket: Run module as a script (terminates option list).
$ racket --lib ${module_name} --main ${arguments}
try on your machine

The racket --lib ${module_name} --main ${arguments} command is used to run a Racket program with specified module name and command line arguments.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • racket: This is the command to execute the Racket interpreter or runtime system.
  • --lib ${module_name}: This option is used to load a specific module in the program. ${module_name} should be replaced with the actual name of the module you want to load.
  • --main ${arguments}: This option is used to specify the main function or entry point of the program and provide command line arguments to it. ${arguments} should be replaced with any command line arguments you want to pass to the main function.

By using this command, the Racket interpreter will load the specified module (specified by ${module_name}) and execute the main function with the provided command line arguments (specified by ${arguments}). This allows you to run and test specific parts of your Racket program from the command line.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
