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 SRFI-0: cond-expand Supported by default, no module required. 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-4: Homogeneous numeric vector datatypes 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 Guile fully supports this SRFI. No need to load any module. SRFI-26: Notation for Specializing Parameters without Currying Exports: cut, cute. SRFI-31: A special form for recursive evaluation Exports: rec. SRFI-34: Exception Handling for Programs Exports: with-exception-handler, raise. Exports syntax: guard. SRFI-39: Parameter objects Exports: make-parameter, with-parameters*. Exports syntax: parameterize. SRFI-55: require-extension Supported by default, no module required.
