  enter interactive mode after executing tool or script

-q [yes|no]

  suppress warnings

-test [yes|no]

  perform unit tests and exit

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".
