These functions are written in <B>S-Lang</B> and make use of lower-level intrinsic functions that are described in the <A HREF="http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/doc/html/slangfun.html">Intrinsic Function Reference Manual</A>. As the <B>slsh</B> library functions make no use of <B>slsh</B> intrinsics, they may be used by any conforming <B>S-Lang</B> application.</P> <P>Before a particular <B>slsh</B> 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 <CODE>require</CODE> function, e.g., <BLOCKQUOTE><CODE> <PRE> require ("structfuns"); </PRE> </CODE></BLOCKQUOTE> will make the functions defined in the file <CODE>structfuns.sl</CODE> available to the interpreter. The <CODE>require</CODE> function itself is defined in the file <CODE>require.sl</CODE>, which a conforming application will automatically load.</P> <HR> <A HREF="slshfun-2.html">Next</A> Previous <A HREF="slshfun.html#toc1">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
