julia [switches] -- [programfile] [args...] Switches (a '*' marks the default value, if applicable; settings marked '($)' may trigger package precompilation): -v, --version Display version information -h, --help Print command-line options (this message) --help-hidden Print uncommon options not shown by `-h` --project[={|@.}] Set as the active project/environment. The default @. option will search through parent directories until a Project.toml or JuliaProject.toml file is found. -J, --sysimage Start up with the given system image file -H, --home Set location of `julia` executable --startup-file={yes*|no} Load `JULIA_DEPOT_PATH/config/startup.jl`; if `JULIA_DEPOT_PATH` environment variable is unset, load `~/.julia/config/startup.jl` --handle-signals={yes*|no} Enable or disable Julia's default signal handlers --sysimage-native-code={yes*|no} Use native code from system image if available --compiled-modules={yes*|no|existing|strict} Enable or disable incremental precompilation of modules The `existing` option allows use of existing compiled modules that were previously precompiled, but disallows creation of new precompile files. The `strict` option is similar, but will error if no precompile file is found. --pkgimages={yes*|no|existing} Enable or disable usage of native code caching in the form of pkgimages The `existing` option allows use of existing pkgimages but disallows creation of new ones ($) -e, --eval Evaluate -E, --print Evaluate and display the result -L, --load Load immediately on all processors -t, --threads {auto|N[,auto|M]} Enable N[+M] threads; N threads are assigned to the `default` threadpool, and if M is specified, M threads are assigned to the `interactive` threadpool; `auto` tries to infer a useful default number of threads to use but the exact behavior might change in the future. Currently sets N to the number of CPUs assigned to this Julia process based on the OS-specific affinity assignment interface if supported (Linux and Windows) or to the number of CPU threads if not supported (MacOS) or if process affinity is not configured, and sets M to 1. --gcthreads=N[,M] Use N threads for the mark phase of GC and M (0 or 1) threads for the concurrent sweeping phase of GC. N is set to half of the number of compute threads and M is set to 0 if unspecified. -p, --procs {N|auto} Integer value N launches N additional local worker processes `auto` launches as many workers as the number of local CPU threads (logical cores) --machine-file Run processes on hosts listed in -i, --interactive Interactive mode; REPL runs and `isinteractive()` is true -q, --quiet Quiet startup: no banner, suppress REPL warnings --banner={yes|no|short|auto*} Enable or disable startup banner --color={yes|no|auto*} Enable or disable color text --history-file={yes*|no} Load or save history --depwarn={yes|no*|error} Enable or disable syntax and method deprecation warnings (`error` turns warnings into errors) --warn-overwrite={yes|no*} Enable or disable method overwrite warnings --warn-scope={yes*|no} Enable or disable warning for ambiguous top-level scope -C, --cpu-target Limit usage of CPU features up to ; set to `help` to see the available options -O, --optimize={0|1|2*|3} Set the optimization level (level 3 if `-O` is used without a level) ($) --min-optlevel={0*|1|2|3} Set a lower bound on the optimization level -g, --debug-info=[{0|1*|2}] Set the level of debug info generation (level 2 if `-g` is used without a level) ($) --inline={yes*|no} Control whether inlining is permitted, including overriding @inline declarations --check-bounds={yes|no|auto*} Emit bounds checks always, never, or respect @inbounds declarations ($) --math-mode={ieee|user*} Always follow `ieee` floating point semantics or respect `@fastmath` declarations --code-coverage[={none*|user|all}] Count executions of source lines (omitting setting is equivalent to `user`) --code-coverage=@ Count executions but only in files that fall under the given file path/directory. The `@` prefix is required to select this option. A `@` with no path will track the current directory. --code-coverage=tracefile.info Append coverage information to the LCOV tracefile (filename supports format tokens) --track-allocation[={none*|user|all}] Count bytes allocated by each source line (omitting setting is equivalent to `user`) --track-allocation=@ Count bytes but only in files that fall under the given file path/directory. The `@` prefix is required to select this option. A `@` with no path will track the current directory. --bug-report=KIND Launch a bug report session. It can be used to start a REPL, run a script, or evaluate expressions. It first tries to use BugReporting.jl installed in current environment and fallbacks to the latest compatible BugReporting.jl if not. For more information, see --bug-report=help. --heap-size-hint= Forces garbage collection if memory usage is higher than the given value. The value may be specified as a number of bytes, optionally in units of KB, MB, GB, or TB, or as a percentage of physical memory with %.
