DESCRIPTION

-i [yes|no]

enter interactive mode after executing tool or script

-q [yes|no]

suppress warnings

-test [yes|no]

Set the environment variable GT_MEM_BOOKKEEPING=on to enable memory bookkeeping (e.g., like this: env GT_MEM_BOOKKEEPING=on gt).

Set the environment variable GT_ENV_OPTIONS=-spacepeak to show a spacepeak after program run. Set the environment variable GT_ENV_OPTIONS=-showtime to show processing times for some program parts if implemented.

Set the environment variable GT_SEED to an integer value to supply a seed for the random number generator. Can be overridden by the -seed option.

Combinations are possible. Running the gt binary with GT_ENV_OPTIONS=-help shows all possible "environment options".
