.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This manual page documents briefly the \fBghc\fP and \fBghci\fP commands. Note that
\fBghci\fP is not yet available on all architectures. Extensive documentation is
available in various other formats including \fI\%PDF\fP and \fI\%HTML\fP\&.
.sp
Each of GHC\(aqs command line options is classified as either \fIstatic\fP or
\fIdynamic\fP\&. A static flag may only be specified on the command line, whereas a
dynamic flag may also be given in an \fBOPTIONS\fP pragma in a source file or
set from the GHCi command\-line with \fB:set\fP .
.sp
As a rule of thumb, all the language options are dynamic, as are the
warning options and the debugging options.
.sp
The rest are static, with the notable exceptions of
\fB\-v\fP, \fB\-cpp\fP, \fB\-fasm\fP, \fB\-fvia\-C\fP, \fB\-fllvm\fP, and
\fB\-#include\fP\&.
The OPTIONS sections lists the status of each flag.
