Bug Description
The list of available command line options shown by 'mit-scheme --help' differs from that shown in 'man mit-scheme'. MIT Scheme release 9.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
* Exceprt from the man page:
OPTIONS
These are some of the more common command-line options. For full information about available options, see the Texinfo documentation.
--heap NBLOCKS
--stack NBLOCKS
--library PATH
Don't load the user's init file.
--edit
Start the text editor automatically.
--eval EXPRESSION...
--load FILENAME...
Load the specified files after starting Scheme.
Print a summary of the command-line options, including default values.
* List of options shown by 'mit-scheme --help':
$ mit-scheme --help
Usage: mit-scheme --OPTION ARG ... --OPTION ARG ...
This machine accepts the following command-line options. The options
may appear in any order, but they must all appear before any options
for the band.
--library PATH
Sets the library search path to PATH. This is a colon-separated
list of directories that is searched to find various library files,
such as bands. If this option is not given, the value of the
environment variable MITSCHEME_
defined, "/usr/local/
--band FILENAME
Specifies the initial band to be loaded. Searches for FILENAME in
the working directory and the library directories, returning the
full pathname of the first readable file of that name. If this
option isn't given, the filename is the value of the environment
variable MITSCHEME_BAND, or if that isn't defined, "runtime.com"; in
these cases the library directories are searched, but not the
working directory.
--fasl FILENAME
Specifies that a cold load should be performed, using FILENAME as
the initial file to be loaded. If this option isn't given, a normal
load is performed instead. This option may not be used together
with the "--band" option.
--heap BLOCKS
Specifies the size of the heap in 1024-word blocks. Overrides any
default.
--constant BLOCKS
Specifies the size of constant space in 1024-word blocks. Overrides
any default.
--stack BLOCKS
Specifies the size of the stack in 1024-word blocks. Overrides any
default.
--option-summary
Causes Scheme to write option values to standard error.
--help
Causes Scheme to report the available command line options.
--version
Causes Scheme to report versions and copyrights, then exit.
--batch-mode, --quiet, --silent
Suppresses the startup report of versions and copyrights, and the
valediction.
--emacs
Specifies that Scheme is running as a subprocess of GNU Emacs.
This option is automatically supplied by GNU Emacs, and should not
be given under other circumstances.
--interactive
If this option isn't specified, and Scheme's standard I/O is not a
terminal, Scheme will detach itself from its controlling terminal.
This will prevent it from getting signals sent to the process group
of that terminal. If this option is specified, Scheme will not
detach itself from the controlling terminal.
--nocore
Specifies that Scheme should not generate a core dump under any
circumstances.
Please report bugs to <email address hidden>.
Additional options may be supported by the band (and described below).

Release 9.1.1 || Microcode 15.3 || Runtime 15.7 || SF 4.41 || LIAR/x86-64 4.118 || Edwin 3.116
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS supported by this band:
--edit
Causes Edwin to start immediately after Scheme.
--eval ARG ...
Evaluates the argument expressions as if in the REPL.
--load ARG ...
Loads the argument files as if in the REPL.
In batch mode, loading messages are suppressed.
--no-init-file
Inhibits automatic loading of the ~/.scheme.init file.
--no-suspend-file
Inhibits automatic saving of bands to ~/scheme_suspend.
--suspend-file
If specified, Scheme saves a band to ~/scheme_suspend on reception
of some signals. This is unavailable on some operating systems.
Under Unix, this is triggered by SIGUSR1 and SIGPWR, and also, if
Scheme is not running under Emacs, SIGHUP.
Moriturus te saluto.
