This directory includes most of Guile's SRFI support. -*- text -*-
For more details about what SRFI means, and what the various numbers
stand for, please refer to the SRFI homepage at
http://srfi.schemers.org
The following SRFIs are supported (as of 2001-06-06 -- 'martin):
SRFI-0: cond-expand
Supported by default, no module needs to get used.
SRFI-1: List Library
A full toolbox of list processing procedures. (use-modules (srfi
srfi-1)) will make them available for use.
SRFI-2: and-let*
(use-modules (srfi srfi-2)) to make and-let* available.
SRFI-6: open-input-string, open-output-string and get-output-string
(use-modules (srfi srfi-6)) to make these available. (Currently,
these procedures are available without using the module, but the
procedures might be factored out of the core library in the
future.)
SRFI-8: receive
(use-modules (srfi srfi-8)) to make receive available.
SRFI-9: define-record-type
A mechanism for defining record types. (use-modules (srfi srfi-9))
makes this syntactic form available.
SRFI-10: #,()
The hash-comma reader extension. (use-modules (srfi srfi-10))
activates the extension.
SRFI-11: let-values and let-values*
Syntactic extensions for handling multiple values. (use-modules
(srfi srfi-11)) makes these syntactic forms available.
SRFI-13: string library
A lot of (more or less) useful string processing procedures.
(use-modules (srfi srfi-13)) loads the procedures.
SRFI-14: character-set library
Character-set library. (use-modules (srfi srfi-14)) loads the
procedures and standard variables.
SRFI-16: case-lambda
Syntactic form which permits writing functions acting different
according to the number of arguments passed. (use-modules (srfi
srfi-16)) makes this syntactic form available.
SRFI-17: Generalized set!
Guile supports generalized set! by default, but this module makes it
fully compliant to the SRFI. (use-modules (srfi srfi-17)) loads the
procedures.
SRFI-19: Time Data Types and Procedures
A lot of data types and procedures for dealing with times and
dates. (use-modules (srfi srfi-19)) loads the procedures.
SRFI-23: Error reporting mechanism (draft)
This SRFI is still in draft status, but Guile fully supports it
already. No need to load any module.
