2.3.1 Runtime Options

--core corefilename
Run the specified Lisp core file instead of the default. Note that if the Lisp core file is a user-created core file, it may run a nonstandard toplevel which does not recognize the standard toplevel options.
--dynamic-space-size megabytes
Size of the dynamic space reserved on startup in megabytes. Default value is platform dependent.
--noinform
Suppress the printing of any banner or other informational message at startup. This makes it easier to write Lisp programs which work cleanly in Unix pipelines. See also the --noprint and --disable-debugger options.
--help
Print some basic information about SBCL, then exit.
--version
Print SBCL's version information, then exit.

In the future, runtime options may be added to control behaviour such as lazy allocation of memory.

Runtime options, including any –end-runtime-options option, are stripped out of the command line before the Lisp toplevel logic gets a chance to see it.
