5 | Add a new key-value pair to @var{alist}. A new pair is | |
780ee65e NJ |
6 | created whose car is @var{key} and whose cdr is @var{value}, and the |
7 | pair is consed onto @var{alist}, and the new list is returned. This | |
8 | function is @emph{not} destructive; @var{alist} is not modified. | |

777 | union of the bindings in the environments @var{local} and | |
778 | @var{imported}, with bindings from @var{local} taking | |
779 | precedence. Definitions made in eval are placed in @var{local}. | |
780 | Applying @code{environment-define} or | |
781 | @code{environment-undefine} to eval has the same effect as | |
782 | applying the procedure to @var{local}. | |

784 | reference: | |
785 | If, after creating eval, the program changes the bindings of | |
786 | @var{local} or @var{imported}, those changes will be visible | |
787 | in eval. | |
788 | Since most Scheme evaluation takes place in eval environments, | |
789 | they transparently cache the bindings received from @var{local} | |
790 | and @var{imported}. Thus, the first time the program looks up | |
791 | a symbol in eval, eval may make calls to @var{local} or | |
792 | @var{imported} to find their bindings, but subsequent | |
793 | references to that symbol will be as fast as references to | |
794 | bindings in finite environments. | |
795 | In typical use, @var{local} will be a finite environment, and | |
796 | @var{imported} will be an import environment | |

1121 | suffix such as ".so". The suffix is provided automatically. It | |
1122 | should also not contain any directory components. Libraries that | |
1123 | implement Guile Extensions should be put into the normal locations for | |
1124 | shared libraries. We recommend to use the naming convention | |
1125 | libguile-bla-blum for a extension related to a module `(bla blum)'. | |
1126 | ||
1127 | The normal way for a extension to be used is to write a small Scheme | |
1128 | file that defines a module, and to load the extension into this | |
1129 | module. When the module is auto-loaded, the extension is loaded as | |
1130 | well. For example, | |
1131 | ||
1132 | @lisp | |
1133 | (define-module (bla blum)) | |
1134 | ||
1135 | (load-extension "libguile-bla-blum" "bla_init_blum") | |

1153 | Fluids are objects of a certain type (a smob) that can hold one SCM | |
1154 | value per dynamic root. That is, modifications to this value are | |
1155 | only visible to code that executes within the same dynamic root as | |
1156 | the modifying code. When a new dynamic root is constructed, it | |
1157 | inherits the values from its parent. Because each thread executes | |
1158 | in its own dynamic root, you can use fluids for thread local storage. | |

9401323e NJ |
1215 | Open the file whose name is @var{filename}, and return a port |
1216 | representing that file. The attributes of the port are | |
1217 | determined by the @var{mode} string. The way in which this is | |
1218 | interpreted is similar to C stdio. The first character must be | |
1219 | one of the following: | |
1220 | @table @samp | |
1221 | @item r | |
1222 | Open an existing file for input. | |
1223 | @item w | |
1224 | Open a file for output, creating it if it doesn't already exist | |
1225 | or removing its contents if it does. | |
1226 | @item a | |
1227 | Open a file for output, creating it if it doesn't already | |
1228 | exist. All writes to the port will go to the end of the file. | |
1229 | The "append mode" can be turned off while the port is in use | |
1230 | @pxref{Ports and File Descriptors, fcntl} | |
780ee65e | 1231 | @end table |
9401323e NJ |
1232 | The following additional characters can be appended: |
1233 | @table @samp | |
1234 | @item + | |
1235 | Open the port for both input and output. E.g., @code{r+}: open | |
1236 | an existing file for both input and output. | |
1237 | @item 0 | |
1238 | Create an "unbuffered" port. In this case input and output | |
1239 | operations are passed directly to the underlying port | |
1240 | implementation without additional buffering. This is likely to | |
1241 | slow down I/O operations. The buffering mode can be changed | |
1242 | while a port is in use @pxref{Ports and File Descriptors, | |
1243 | setvbuf} | |
1244 | @item l | |
1245 | Add line-buffering to the port. The port output buffer will be | |
1246 | automatically flushed whenever a newline character is written. | |
780ee65e | 1247 | @end table |
9401323e NJ |
1248 | In theory we could create read/write ports which were buffered |
1249 | in one direction only. However this isn't included in the | |

1251 | requested, @code{open-file} throws an exception. | |

1589 | @deffnx {C Function} scm_make_guardian (greedy_p) | |
780ee65e NJ |
1590 | Create a new guardian. |
1591 | A guardian protects a set of objects from garbage collection, | |
1592 | allowing a program to apply cleanup or other actions. | |
1593 | ||
1594 | @code{make-guardian} returns a procedure representing the guardian. | |
1595 | Calling the guardian procedure with an argument adds the | |
1596 | argument to the guardian's set of protected objects. | |
1597 | Calling the guardian procedure without an argument returns | |
1598 | one of the protected objects which are ready for garbage | |
1599 | collection, or @code{#f} if no such object is available. | |
1600 | Objects which are returned in this way are removed from | |
1601 | the guardian. | |
1602 | ||
1603 | @code{make-guardian} takes one optional argument that says whether the | |
1604 | new guardian should be greedy or sharing. If there is any chance | |
1605 | that any object protected by the guardian may be resurrected, | |
1606 | then you should make the guardian greedy (this is the default). | |

780ee65e | 4674 | |

4676 | this vtable. | |
780ee65e | 4677 | |
9401323e NJ |

4679 | the vtable. | |
780ee65e | 4680 | |
9401323e NJ |
4681 | Vtables have one initializable system field---the struct printer. |
4682 | This field comes before the user fields in the initializers passed | |
4683 | to @code{make-vtable-vtable} and @code{make-struct}, and thus works as | |
4684 | a third optional argument to @code{make-vtable-vtable} and a fourth to | |
4685 | @code{make-struct} when creating vtables: | |
780ee65e | 4686 | |
9401323e NJ |
4687 | If the value is a procedure, it will be called instead of the standard |
4688 | printer whenever a struct described by this vtable is printed. | |
4689 | The procedure will be called with arguments STRUCT and PORT. | |
780ee65e | 4690 | |
9401323e NJ |
4691 | The structure of a struct is described by a vtable, so the vtable is |
4692 | in essence the type of the struct. The vtable is itself a struct with | |
4693 | a vtable. This could go on forever if it weren't for the | |
4694 | vtable-vtables which are self-describing vtables, and thus terminate | |
4695 | the chain. | |

4697 | There are several potential ways of using structs, but the standard |
4698 | one is to use three kinds of structs, together building up a type | |
4699 | sub-system: one vtable-vtable working as the root and one or several | |
4700 | "types", each with a set of "instances". (The vtable-vtable should be | |

5913 | @deffnx {C Function} scm_select (reads, writes, excepts, secs, usecs) | |
9401323e | 5914 | This procedure has a variety of uses: waiting for the ability |
198586ed | 5915 | to provide input, accept output, or the existence of |
9401323e NJ |
5916 | exceptional conditions on a collection of ports or file |
5917 | descriptors, or waiting for a timeout to occur. | |
5918 | It also returns if interrupted by a signal. | |
5919 | ||
5920 | @var{reads}, @var{writes} and @var{excepts} can be lists or | |
5921 | vectors, with each member a port or a file descriptor. | |
5922 | The value returned is a list of three corresponding | |
5923 | lists or vectors containing only the members which meet the | |
5924 | specified requirement. The ability of port buffers to | |
5925 | provide input or accept output is taken into account. | |
5926 | Ordering of the input lists or vectors is not preserved. | |
5927 | ||
5928 | The optional arguments @var{secs} and @var{usecs} specify the | |
5929 | timeout. Either @var{secs} can be specified alone, as | |
5930 | either an integer or a real number, or both @var{secs} and | |
5931 | @var{usecs} can be specified as integers, in which case | |
5932 | @var{usecs} is an additional timeout expressed in | |
5933 | microseconds. If @var{secs} is omitted or is @code{#f} then | |
5934 | select will wait for as long as it takes for one of the other | |
5935 | conditions to be satisfied. | |
5936 | ||
5937 | The scsh version of @code{select} differs as follows: | |
5938 | Only vectors are accepted for the first three arguments. | |
5939 | The @var{usecs} argument is not supported. | |
5940 | Multiple values are returned instead of a list. | |
5941 | Duplicates in the input vectors appear only once in output. | |

7159 | @item regexp/icase | |
7160 | Consider uppercase and lowercase letters to be the same when | |
7161 | matching. | |
7162 | @item regexp/newline | |
7163 | If a newline appears in the target string, then permit the | |
7164 | @samp{^} and @samp{$} operators to match immediately after or | |
7165 | immediately before the newline, respectively. Also, the | |
7166 | @samp{.} and @samp{[^...]} operators will never match a newline | |
7167 | character. The intent of this flag is to treat the target | |
7168 | string as a buffer containing many lines of text, and the | |
7169 | regular expression as a pattern that may match a single one of | |
7170 | those lines. | |
7171 | @item regexp/basic | |
7172 | Compile a basic (``obsolete'') regexp instead of the extended | |
7173 | (``modern'') regexps that are the default. Basic regexps do | |
7174 | not consider @samp{|}, @samp{+} or @samp{?} to be special | |
7175 | characters, and require the @samp{@{...@}} and @samp{(...)} | |
7176 | metacharacters to be backslash-escaped (@pxref{Backslash | |
7177 | Escapes}). There are several other differences between basic | |
7178 | and extended regular expressions, but these are the most | |
7179 | significant. | |
7180 | @item regexp/extended | |
7181 | Compile an extended regular expression rather than a basic | |
7182 | regexp. This is the default behavior; this flag will not | |
7183 | usually be needed. If a call to @code{make-regexp} includes | |
7184 | both @code{regexp/basic} and @code{regexp/extended} flags, the | |
