This document describes the functions that are part of the slsh library. These functions are written in S-Lang and make use of lower-level intrinsic functions that are described in the Intrinsic Function Reference Manual. As the slsh library functions make no use of slsh intrinsics, they may be used by any conforming S-Lang application.
Before a particular slsh library function may be used, the file that
defines the function must first be loaded. The recommended mechanism
for loading a file is through the use of the
require function, e.g.,
require ("structfuns");
structfuns.sl
available to the interpreter. The require function itself is
defined in the file require.sl, which a conforming application
will automatically load.
