See the documentation of execl:

 -- Scheme Procedure: execl filename arg ...
 -- C Function: scm_execl (filename, args)
     Executes the file named by FILENAME as a new process image.  The
     remaining arguments are supplied to the process; from a C program
     they are accessible as the ‘argv’ argument to ‘main’.
     Conventionally the first ARG is the same as FILENAME.  All
     arguments must be strings.

     If ARG is missing, FILENAME is executed with a null argument list,
     which may have system-dependent side-effects.

     This procedure is currently implemented using the ‘execv’ system
     call, but we call it ‘execl’ because of its Scheme calling
     interface.
