guile/srfi

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 needs to get used.

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-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.
