1 | This directory includes most of Guile's SRFI support. -*- text -*- |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | For more details about what SRFI means, and what the various numbers | |
| 4 | stand for, please refer to the SRFI homepage at | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | http://srfi.schemers.org | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | The following SRFIs are supported (as of 2001-05-22 -- 'martin): | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | SRFI-0: cond-expand | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | Supported by default, no module needs to get used. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | SRFI-2: and-let* | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | (use-modules (srfi srfi-2)) to make and-let* available. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | SRFI-6: open-input-string, open-output-string and get-output-string | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | (use-modules (srfi srfi-6)) to make these available. (Currently, | |
| 21 | these procedures are available without using the module, but the | |
| 22 | procedures might be factored out of the core library in the | |
| 23 | future.) | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | SRFI-8: receive | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | (use-modules (srfi srfi-8)) to make receive available. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | SRFI-9: define-record-type | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | A mechanism for defining record types. (use-modules (srfi srfi-9)) | |
| 32 | makes this syntactic form available. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | SRFI-10: #,() | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | The hash-comma reader extension. (use-modules (srfi srfi-10)) | |
| 37 | activates the extension. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | SRFI-11: let-values and let-values* | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Syntactic extensions for handling multiple values. (use-modules | |
| 42 | (srfi srfi-11)) makes these syntactic forms available. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | SRFI-13: string library | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | A lot of (more or less) useful string processing procedures. | |
| 47 | (use-modules (srfi srfi-13)) loads the procedures. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | SRFI-14: character-set library | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Character-set library. (use-modules (srfi srfi-14)) loads the | |
| 52 | procedures and standard variables. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | SRFI-16: case-lambda | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | Syntactic form which permits writing functions acting different | |
| 57 | according to the number of arguments passed. (use-modules (srfi | |
| 58 | srfi-16)) makes this syntactic form available. | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | SRFI-17: Generalized set! | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | Guile supports generalized set! by default, but this module makes it | |
| 63 | fully compliant to the SRFI. (use-modules (srfi srfi-17)) loads the | |
| 64 | procedures. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | SRFI-19: Time Data Types and Procedures | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | A lot of data types and procedures for dealing with times and | |
| 69 | dates. (use-modules (srfi srfi-19)) loads the procedures. | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | SRFI-23: Error reporting mechanism (draft) | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | This SRFI is still in draft status, but Guile fully supports it | |
| 74 | already. No need to load any module. |
