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

37 | @deffnx primitive assoc key alist | |
38 | Fetches the entry in @var{alist} that is associated with @var{key}. To | |
39 | decide whether the argument @var{key} matches a particular entry in | |
40 | @var{alist}, @code{assq} compares keys with @code{eq?}, @code{assv} | |
41 | uses @code{eqv?} and @code{assoc} uses @code{equal?}. If @var{key} | |
42 | cannot be found in @var{alist} (according to whichever equality | |
43 | predicate is in use), then @code{#f} is returned. These functions | |
44 | return the entire alist entry found (i.e. both the key and the value). | |

806 | Since most Scheme evaluation takes place in eval environments, | |
807 | they transparently cache the bindings received from @var{local} | |

810 | @var{imported} to find their bindings, but subsequent | |
811 | references to that symbol will be as fast as references to | |

914 | where each attribute is one of the following: | |
915 | @table @asis | |
916 | @item the symbol @code{mutable-location} | |
917 | @var{exp} should treat the | |
918 | location bound to symbol as mutable. That is, @var{exp} | |
919 | will pass calls to @code{environment-set!} or | |
920 | @code{environment-cell} directly through to private. | |
921 | @item the symbol @code{immutable-location} | |
922 | @var{exp} should treat | |
923 | the location bound to symbol as immutable. If the program | |
924 | applies @code{environment-set!} to @var{exp} and symbol, or | |
925 | calls @code{environment-cell} to obtain a writable value | |
926 | cell, @code{environment-set!} will signal an | |
927 | @code{environment:immutable-location} error. Note that, even | |
928 | if an export environment treats a location as immutable, the | |
929 | underlying environment may treat it as mutable, so its | |
930 | value may change. | |
931 | @end table | |
932 | It is an error for an element of signature to specify both | |
933 | @code{mutable-location} and @code{immutable-location}. If | |
934 | neither is specified, @code{immutable-location} is assumed. | |
935 | ||
936 | As a special case, if an element of signature is a lone | |
937 | symbol @var{sym}, it is equivalent to an element of the form | |
938 | @code{(sym)}. | |

940 | All bindings in @var{exp} are immutable. If you apply | |
941 | @code{environment-define} or @code{environment-undefine} to | |
942 | @var{exp}, Guile will signal an | |

1383 | \fselect | |
1384 | @c snarfed from filesys.c:1022 | |
1385 | @deffn primitive select reads writes excepts [secs [usecs]] | |
1386 | This procedure has a variety of uses: waiting for the ability | |
1387 | to provide input, accept output, or the existance of | |
1388 | exceptional conditions on a collection of ports or file | |
1389 | descriptors, or waiting for a timeout to occur. | |
1390 | It also returns if interrupted by a signal. | |
1391 | ||
1392 | @var{reads}, @var{writes} and @var{excepts} can be lists or | |
1393 | vectors, with each member a port or a file descriptor. | |
1394 | The value returned is a list of three corresponding | |
1395 | lists or vectors containing only the members which meet the | |
1396 | specified requirement. The ability of port buffers to | |
1397 | provide input or accept output is taken into account. | |
1398 | Ordering of the input lists or vectors is not preserved. | |
1399 | ||
1400 | The optional arguments @var{secs} and @var{usecs} specify the | |
1401 | timeout. Either @var{secs} can be specified alone, as | |
1402 | either an integer or a real number, or both @var{secs} and | |
1403 | @var{usecs} can be specified as integers, in which case | |
1404 | @var{usecs} is an additional timeout expressed in | |
1405 | microseconds. If @var{secs} is omitted or is @code{#f} then | |
1406 | select will wait for as long as it takes for one of the other | |
1407 | conditions to be satisfied. | |
1408 | ||
1409 | The scsh version of @code{select} differs as follows: | |
1410 | Only vectors are accepted for the first three arguments. | |
1411 | The @var{usecs} argument is not supported. | |
1412 | Multiple values are returned instead of a list. | |
1413 | Duplicates in the input vectors appear only once in output. | |
1414 | An additional @code{select!} interface is provided. | |

1566 | @deffn primitive open-file filename modes | |
1567 | Open the file whose name is @var{string}, and return a port | |
1568 | representing that file. The attributes of the port are | |
1569 | determined by the @var{mode} string. The way in | |
1570 | which this is interpreted is similar to C stdio: | |
1571 | ||
1572 | The first character must be one of the following: | |
1573 | ||
1574 | @table @samp | |
1575 | @item r | |
1576 | Open an existing file for input. | |
1577 | @item w | |
1578 | Open a file for output, creating it if it doesn't already exist | |
1579 | or removing its contents if it does. | |
1580 | @item a | |
1581 | Open a file for output, creating it if it doesn't already exist. | |
1582 | All writes to the port will go to the end of the file. | |
1583 | The "append mode" can be turned off while the port is in use | |
1584 | @pxref{Ports and File Descriptors, fcntl} | |
1585 | @end table | |
1586 | ||
1587 | The following additional characters can be appended: | |
1588 | ||
1589 | @table @samp | |
1590 | @item + | |
1591 | Open the port for both input and output. E.g., @code{r+}: open | |
1592 | an existing file for both input and output. | |
1593 | @item 0 | |
1594 | Create an "unbuffered" port. In this case input and output operations | |
1595 | are passed directly to the underlying port implementation without | |
1596 | additional buffering. This is likely to slow down I/O operations. | |
1597 | The buffering mode can be changed while a port is in use | |
1598 | @pxref{Ports and File Descriptors, setvbuf} | |
1599 | @item l | |
1600 | Add line-buffering to the port. The port output buffer will be | |
1601 | automatically flushed whenever a newline character is written. | |
1602 | @end table | |
1603 | ||
1604 | In theory we could create read/write ports which were buffered in one | |
1605 | direction only. However this isn't included in the current interfaces. | |
1606 | ||
1607 | If a file cannot be opened with the access requested, | |

1928 | @deffn primitive make-guardian [greedy_p] | |
1929 | Create a new guardian. | |
1930 | A guardian protects a set of objects from garbage collection, | |
1931 | allowing a program to apply cleanup or other actions. | |
1932 | ||
1933 | @code{make-guardian} returns a procedure representing the guardian. | |
1934 | Calling the guardian procedure with an argument adds the | |
1935 | argument to the guardian's set of protected objects. | |
1936 | Calling the guardian procedure without an argument returns | |
1937 | one of the protected objects which are ready for garbage | |
1938 | collection, or @code{#f} if no such object is available. | |
1939 | Objects which are returned in this way are removed from | |
1940 | the guardian. | |
1941 | ||
1942 | @code{make-guardian} takes one optional argument that says whether the | |
1943 | new guardian should be greedy or sharing. If there is any chance | |
1944 | that any object protected by the guardian may be resurrected, | |
1945 | then you should make the guardian greedy (this is the default). | |

3162 | The function ash performs an arithmetic shift left by @var{CNT} | |
3163 | bits (or shift right, if @var{cnt} is negative). | |
3164 | 'Arithmetic' means, that the function does not guarantee to | |
3165 | keep the bit structure of @var{n}, but rather guarantees that | |
3166 | the result will always be rounded towards minus infinity. | |

4805 | newline, respectively. Also, the @samp{.} and @samp{[^...]} operators | |
4806 | will never match a newline character. The intent of this flag is to | |
4807 | treat the target string as a buffer containing many lines of text, and | |
4808 | the regular expression as a pattern that may match a single one of those | |
4809 | lines. | |

4811 | @item regexp/basic | |
4812 | Compile a basic (``obsolete'') regexp instead of the extended | |
4813 | (``modern'') regexps that are the default. Basic regexps do not | |
4814 | consider @samp{|}, @samp{+} or @samp{?} to be special characters, and | |
4815 | require the @samp{@{...@}} and @samp{(...)} metacharacters to be | |
4816 | backslash-escaped (@pxref{Backslash Escapes}). There are several other | |
4817 | differences between basic and extended regular expressions, but these | |
4818 | are the most significant. | |
4819 | ||
4820 | @item regexp/extended | |
4821 | Compile an extended regular expression rather than a basic regexp. This | |
4822 | is the default behavior; this flag will not usually be needed. If a | |
4823 | call to @code{make-regexp} includes both @code{regexp/basic} and | |
4824 | @code{regexp/extended} flags, the one which comes last will override | |

4838 | \fcall-with-dynamic-root | |
4839 | @c snarfed from root.c:358 | |
4840 | @deffn primitive call-with-dynamic-root thunk handler | |
4841 | Evaluate @code{(thunk)} in a new dynamic context, returning its value. | |
4842 | ||
4843 | If an error occurs during evaluation, apply @var{handler} to the | |
4844 | arguments to the throw, just as @code{throw} would. If this happens, | |
4845 | @var{handler} is called outside the scope of the new root -- it is | |
4846 | called in the same dynamic context in which | |
4847 | @code{call-with-dynamic-root} was evaluated. | |
4848 | ||
4849 | If @var{thunk} captures a continuation, the continuation is rooted at | |
4850 | the call to @var{thunk}. In particular, the call to | |
4851 | @code{call-with-dynamic-root} is not captured. Therefore, | |
4852 | @code{call-with-dynamic-root} always returns at most one time. | |
4853 | ||
4854 | Before calling @var{thunk}, the dynamic-wind chain is un-wound back to | |
4855 | the root and a new chain started for @var{thunk}. Therefore, this call | |
4856 | may not do what you expect: | |
4857 | ||
4858 | @example | |
4859 | ;; Almost certainly a bug: | |
4860 | (with-output-to-port | |
4861 | some-port | |

4863 | (lambda () | |
4864 | (call-with-dynamic-root | |
4865 | (lambda () | |
4866 | (display 'fnord) | |
4867 | (newline)) | |
4868 | (lambda (errcode) errcode)))) | |
4869 | @end example | |
4870 | ||
4871 | The problem is, on what port will @samp{fnord} be displayed? You | |
4872 | might expect that because of the @code{with-output-to-port} that | |
4873 | it will be displayed on the port bound to @code{some-port}. But it | |
4874 | probably won't -- before evaluating the thunk, dynamic winds are | |
4875 | unwound, including those created by @code{with-output-to-port}. | |
4876 | So, the standard output port will have been re-set to its default value | |
4877 | before @code{display} is evaluated. | |

4906 | (default action) or @code{SIG_IGN} (ignore), or the Scheme procedure which | |
4907 | handles the signal, or @code{#f} if a non-Scheme procedure handles the | |
4908 | signal. The CDR contains the current @code{sigaction} flags for the handler. | |
4909 | ||
4910 | If @var{action} is provided, it is installed as the new handler for | |
4911 | @var{signum}. @var{action} can be a Scheme procedure taking one | |
4912 | argument, or the value of @code{SIG_DFL} (default action) or | |
4913 | @code{SIG_IGN} (ignore), or @code{#f} to restore whatever signal handler | |
4914 | was installed before @code{sigaction} was first used. Flags can | |
4915 | optionally be specified for the new handler (@code{SA_RESTART} will | |
4916 | always be added if it's available and the system is using restartable | |
4917 | system calls.) The return value is a pair with information about the | |
4918 | old handler as described above. | |
4919 | ||
4920 | This interface does not provide access to the "signal blocking" | |

5818 | into @var{str2} beginning at position @var{end2}. | |

5822 | ||
5823 | It is useful to have two functions that copy in different directions so | |
5824 | that substrings can be copied back and forth within a single string. If | |
5825 | you wish to copy text from the left-hand side of a string to the | |
5826 | right-hand side of the same string, and the source and destination | |
5827 | overlap, you must be careful to copy the rightmost characters of the | |
5828 | text first, to avoid clobbering your data. Hence, when @var{str1} and | |
5829 | @var{str2} are the same string, you should use | |
5830 | @code{substring-move-right!} when moving text from left to right, and | |
5831 | @code{substring-move-left!} otherwise. If @code{str1} and @samp{str2} | |

6137 | @var{tail-elts} must be a non-negative integer. If the layout | |

6139 | this is the number of elements allocated to that array. | |
6140 | ||
6141 | The @var{init1}, @dots{} are optional arguments describing how | |
6142 | successive fields of the structure should be initialized. Only fields | |
6143 | with protection 'r' or 'w' can be initialized, except for fields of | |

6162 | @deffn primitive make-vtable-vtable user_fields tail_array_size . init | |
6163 | Return a new, self-describing vtable structure. | |
6164 | ||
6165 | @var{user-fields} is a string describing user defined fields of the | |
6166 | vtable beginning at index @code{vtable-offset-user} | |
6167 | (see @code{make-struct-layout}). | |
6168 | ||
6169 | @var{tail-size} specifies the size of the tail-array (if any) of | |
6170 | this vtable. | |
6171 | ||
6172 | @var{init1}, @dots{} are the optional initializers for the fields of | |
6173 | the vtable. | |
6174 | ||
6175 | Vtables have one initializable system field---the struct printer. | |
6176 | This field comes before the user fields in the initializers passed | |
6177 | to @code{make-vtable-vtable} and @code{make-struct}, and thus works as | |
6178 | a third optional argument to @code{make-vtable-vtable} and a fourth to | |
6179 | @code{make-struct} when creating vtables: | |
6180 | ||
6181 | If the value is a procedure, it will be called instead of the standard | |
6182 | printer whenever a struct described by this vtable is printed. | |
6183 | The procedure will be called with arguments STRUCT and PORT. | |
6184 | ||
6185 | The structure of a struct is described by a vtable, so the vtable is | |
6186 | in essence the type of the struct. The vtable is itself a struct with | |
6187 | a vtable. This could go on forever if it weren't for the | |
6188 | vtable-vtables which are self-describing vtables, and thus terminate | |
6189 | the chain. | |
6190 | ||
6191 | There are several potential ways of using structs, but the standard | |
6192 | one is to use three kinds of structs, together building up a type | |
6193 | sub-system: one vtable-vtable working as the root and one or several | |
6194 | "types", each with a set of "instances". (The vtable-vtable should be | |
6195 | compared to the class <class> which is the class of itself.) | |
6196 | ||
6197 | @example | |
6198 | (define ball-root (make-vtable-vtable "pr" 0)) | |
6199 | ||
6200 | (define (make-ball-type ball-color) | |

6280 | the string returned will contain characters in the | |

6592 | in the array to be returned, their positions in the argument list to | |
6593 | dimensions of @var{array}. Several @var{dim}s may have the same value, | |

6969 | @deffn primitive make-soft-port pv modes | |
6970 | Returns a port capable of receiving or delivering characters as | |
6971 | specified by the @var{modes} string (@pxref{File Ports, | |
6972 | open-file}). @var{vector} must be a vector of length 6. Its components | |
6973 | are as follows: | |
6974 | ||
6975 | @enumerate 0 | |
6976 | @item | |
6977 | procedure accepting one character for output | |
6978 | @item | |
6979 | procedure accepting a string for output | |
6980 | @item | |
6981 | thunk for flushing output | |

6983 | thunk for getting one character | |
6984 | @item | |
6985 | thunk for closing port (not by garbage collection) | |
6986 | @end enumerate | |
6987 | ||
6988 | For an output-only port only elements 0, 1, 2, and 4 need be | |
6989 | procedures. For an input-only port only elements 3 and 4 need be | |
6990 | procedures. Thunks 2 and 4 can instead be @code{#f} if there is no useful | |
6991 | operation for them to perform. | |

6993 | If thunk 3 returns @code{#f} or an @code{eof-object} (@pxref{Input, | |
6994 | eof-object?, ,r4rs, The Revised^4 Report on Scheme}) it indicates that | |
6995 | the port has reached end-of-file. For example: | |
6996 | ||
6997 | @example | |
6998 | (define stdout (current-output-port)) | |
6999 | (define p (make-soft-port | |
