8 The following SRFIs are supported (as of 2001-05-22 -- 'martin):
12 Supported by default, no module needs to get used.
16 (use-modules (srfi srfi-2)) to make and-let* available.
18 SRFI-6: open-input-string, open-output-string and get-output-string
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
27 (use-modules (srfi srfi-8)) to make receive available.
29 SRFI-9: define-record-type
31 A mechanism for defining record types. (use-modules (srfi srfi-9))
32 makes this syntactic form available.
36 The hash-comma reader extension. (use-modules (srfi srfi-10))
37 activates the extension.
39 SRFI-11: let-values and let-values*
41 Syntactic extensions for handling multiple values. (use-modules
42 (srfi srfi-11)) makes these syntactic forms available.
44 SRFI-13: string library
46 A lot of (more or less) useful string processing procedures.
47 (use-modules (srfi srfi-13)) loads the procedures.
49 SRFI-14: character-set library
51 Character-set library. (use-modules (srfi srfi-14)) loads the
52 procedures and standard variables.
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.
60 SRFI-17: Generalized set!
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
66 SRFI-19: Time Data Types and Procedures
68 A lot of data types and procedures for dealing with times and
69 dates. (use-modules (srfi srfi-19)) loads the procedures.
71 SRFI-23: Error reporting mechanism (draft)
73 This SRFI is still in draft status, but Guile fully supports it
74 already. No need to load any module.
