   3 * Overview
   4
   5 This directory contains examples illustrating various aspects of Guile
   6 programming.
   7
   8 If you plan writing Scheme programs, have a look at the `scripts'
   9 directory.  To learn more about Guile modules, check out the `modules'
  10 directory, and maybe the `box-module' and `box-dynamic-module'
  11 directories, if you are into C programming or shared libraries,
  12 respectively.  The `safe' directory contains examples for evaluation
  13 Scheme code in controlled environments (sandboxing).  The directories
  14 `box', `box-module', `box-dynamic' and `box-dynamic-module' are
  15 interesting if you plan writing Guile extensions.

  20 * Included Examples
  21
  22 scripts             Examples for writing simple scripts in Guile Scheme.
  23
  24 box                 Example for extending Guile with a new data type.
  25
  26 box-module          Similar to `box', but defines new procedures in a
  27                     named module.
  28 box-dynamic         Implements the box type in a dynamically loadable
  29                     library.
  30 box-dynamic-module  Combination of `box-module' and `box-dynamic':
  31                     Implements the `box' type in a shared library and
  32                     defines the procedures in a Guile module.
  33
  34 modules             Examples for writing and using Guile modules.
  35
  36 safe                Examples for creating and using safe environments.
  37
  38 web                 Simple web servers.
  39
  40 compat              autoconf code for making a Guile extension
  41                     compatible with older versions of Guile.
