Adds a new key-value pair to @var{alist}.  A new pair is
created whose car is @var{key} and whose cdr is @var{value}, and the
pair is consed onto @var{alist}, and the new list is returned.  This
function is @emph{not} destructive; @var{alist} is not modified.

(assq key alist)
@deffnx primitive assv key alist
@deffnx primitive assoc key alist
Fetches the entry in @var{alist} that is associated with @var{key}.  To
decide whether the argument @var{key} matches a particular entry in
@var{alist}, @code{assq} compares keys with @code{eq?}, @code{assv}
uses @code{eqv?} and @code{assoc} uses @code{equal?}.  If @var{key}
cannot be found in @var{alist} (according to whichever equality
predicate is in use), then @code{#f} is returned.  These functions
return the entire alist entry found (i.e. both the key and the value).

@deffnx primitive assoc-set! alist key value
Reassociate @var{key} in @var{alist} with @var{value}: find any existing
@var{alist} entry for @var{key} and associate it with the new
@var{value}.  If @var{alist} does not contain an entry for @var{key},
add a new one.  Return the (possibly new) alist.

These functions do not attempt to verify the structure of @var{alist},

(dynamic-func symb dobj)
Import the symbol @var{func} from @var{lib} (a dynamic library handle).
A @dfn{function handle} representing the imported function is returned.
GJB:FIXME:DOC: 2nd version below
Search the C function indicated by @var{function} (a string or symbol)
in @var{dynobj} and return some Scheme object that can later be used
with @code{dynamic-call} to actually call this function.  Right now,
these Scheme objects are formed by casting the address of the function
to @code{long} and converting this number to its Scheme representation.

Regardless whether your C compiler prepends an underscore @samp{_} to
the global names in a program, you should @strong{not} include this
underscore in @var{function}.  Guile knows whether the underscore is
needed or not and will add it when necessary.

@var{function} is something returned by @code{dynamic-func}, call that
function and ignore @var{dynobj}.  When @var{function} is a string (or
symbol, etc.), look it up in @var{dynobj}; this is equivalent to

@smallexample
(dynamic-call (dynamic-func @var{function} @var{dynobj} #f))

Call @var{proc}, a dynamically loaded function, passing it the argument
list @var{args} (a list of strings).  As with @code{dynamic-call},
@var{proc} should be either a function handle or a string, in which case
it is first fetched from @var{lib} with @code{dynamic-func}.

@var{proc} is assumed to return an integer, which is used as the return
value from @code{dynamic-args-call}.

GJB:FIXME:DOC 2nd version below
Call the C function indicated by @var{function} and @var{dynobj}, just
like @code{dynamic-call}, but pass it some arguments and return its
return value.  The C function is expected to take two arguments and
return an @code{int}, just like @code{main}:

@smallexample
int c_func (int argc, char **argv);
@end smallexample

The parameter @var{args} must be a list of strings and is converted into
an array of @code{char *}.  The array is passed in @var{argv} and its
size in @var{argc}.  The return value is converted to a Scheme number
and returned from the call to @code{dynamic-args-call}.

If, any time during the execution of @var{thunk}, the continuation
of the @code{dynamic-wind} expression is escaped non-locally, @var{out-guard}
is called.   If the continuation of the dynamic-wind is re-entered,
@var{in-guard} is called.   Thus @var{in-guard} and @var{out-guard} may
be called any number of times.

(eq? x y)
Return #t iff X references the same object as Y.
`eq?' is similar to `eqv?' except that in some cases
it is capable of discerning distinctions finer than
those detectable by `eqv?'.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/eq.c:65]

(eqv? x y)
The `eqv?' procedure defines a useful equivalence relation on objects.
Briefly, it returns #t if X and Y should normally be
regarded as the same object.  This relation is left
slightly open to interpretation, but works for comparing
immediate integers, characters, and inexact numbers.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/eq.c:79]

(equal? x y)
Return #t iff X and Y are recursively `eqv?' equivalent.
`equal?' recursively compares the contents of pairs, vectors, and
strings, applying `eqv?' on other objects such as numbers and
symbols.  A rule of thumb is that objects are generally `equal?'
if they print the same.  `Equal?' may fail to terminate if its
arguments are circular data structures.

(scm-error key subr message args rest)
Raise an error with key @var{key}.  @var{subr} can be a string naming
the procedure associated with the error, or @code{#f}.  @var{message}
is the error message string, possibly containing @code{~S} and @code{~A}
escapes.  When an error is reported, these are replaced by formating the
corresponding members of @var{args}: @code{~A} (was @code{%s}) formats using @code{display}
and @code(~S) (was @code{%S}) formats using @code{write}.  @var{data} is a
list or @code{#f} depending on @var{key}: if @var{key} is
@code{system-error} then it should be a list
containing the Unix @code{errno} value;  If @var{key} is @code{signal} then
it should be a list containing the Unix signal number; otherwise it
will usually be @code{#f}.

the integer values @var{owner} and @var{group}.  @var{object} can be
a string containing a file name or, if the platform
supports fchown, a port or integer file descriptor
which is open on the file.  The return value
is unspecified.

If @var{object} is a symbolic link, either the
ownership of the link or the ownership of the referenced file will be
changed depending on the operating system (lchown is
unsupported at present).  If @var{owner} or @var{group} is specified
as @code{-1}, then that ID is not changed.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:138]

(chmod object mode)
Changes the permissions of the file referred to by @var{obj}.
@var{obj} can be a string containing a file name or a port or integer file
descriptor which is open on a file (in which case @code{fchmod} is used
as the underlying system call).
@var{mode} specifies
the new permissions as a decimal number, e.g., @code{(chmod \"foo\" #o755)}.
The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:178]

(umask mode)
If @var{mode} is omitted, retuns a decimal number representing the current
file creation mask.  Otherwise the file creation mask is set to
@var{mode} and the previous value is returned.

E.g., @code{(umask #o022)} sets the mask to octal 22, decimal 18.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:212]

(open-fdes path flags mode)
Similar to @code{open} but returns a file descriptor instead of a
port.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:235]

(open path flags mode)
Open the file named by @var{path} for reading and/or writing.
@var{flags} is an integer specifying how the file should be opened.
@var{mode} is an integer specifying the permission bits of the file, if
it needs to be created, before the umask is applied.  The default is 666
(Unix itself has no default).

@var{flags} can be constructed by combining variables using @code{logior}.
Basic flags are:

@defvar O_RDONLY
Open the file read-only.
@end defvar
@defvar O_WRONLY
Open the file write-only.
@end defvar
@defvar O_RDWR
Open the file read/write.
@end defvar
@defvar O_APPEND
Append to the file instead of truncating.
@end defvar
@defvar O_CREAT
Create the file if it does not already exist.
@end defvar

See the Unix documentation of the @code{open} system call
for additional flags.

(close fd_or_port)
Similar to close-port (@pxref{Generic Port Operations, close-port}),
but also works on file descriptors.  A side
effect of closing a file descriptor is that any ports using that file
descriptor are moved to a different file descriptor and have
their revealed counts set to zero.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:316]

(stat object)
Returns an object containing various information
about the file determined by @var{obj}.
@var{obj} can be a string containing a file name or a port or integer file
descriptor which is open on a file (in which case @code{fstat} is used
as the underlying system call).

The object returned by @code{stat} can be passed as a single parameter
to the following procedures, all of which return integers:

@table @code
@item stat:dev
The device containing the file.
@item stat:ino
The file serial number, which distinguishes this file from all other
files on the same device.
@item stat:mode
The mode of the file.  This includes file type information
and the file permission bits.  See @code{stat:type} and @code{stat:perms}
below.
@item stat:nlink
The number of hard links to the file.
@item stat:uid
The user ID of the file's owner.
@item stat:gid
The group ID of the file.
@item stat:rdev
Device ID; this entry is defined only for character or block
special files.
@item stat:size
The size of a regular file in bytes.
@item stat:atime
The last access time for the file.
@item stat:mtime
The last modification time for the file.
@item stat:ctime
The last modification time for the attributes of the file.
@item stat:blksize
The optimal block size for reading or writing the file, in bytes.
@item stat:blocks
The amount of disk space that the file occupies measured in units of
512 byte blocks.
@end table

In addition, the following procedures return the information
from stat:mode in a more convenient form:

@table @code
@item stat:type
A symbol representing the type of file.  Possible values are
regular, directory, symlink, block-special, char-special,
fifo, socket and unknown
@item stat:perms
An integer representing the access permission bits.
@end table

(mkdir path mode)
Create a new directory named by @var{path}.  If @var{mode} is omitted
then the permissions of the directory file are set using the current
umask.  Otherwise they are set to the decimal value specified with
@var{mode}.  The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:613]

(rmdir path)
Remove the existing directory named by @var{path}.  The directory must

(readdir port)
Return (as a string) the next directory entry from the directory stream
@var{stream}.  If there is no remaining entry to be read then the
end of file object is returned.

(closedir port)
Close the directory stream @var{stream}.
The return value is unspecified.

(select reads writes excepts secs usecs)
This procedure has a variety of uses: waiting for the ability
to provide input, accept output, or the existance of
exceptional conditions on a collection of ports or file
descriptors, or waiting for a timeout to occur.
It also returns if interrupted by a signal.

@var{reads}, @var{writes} and @var{excepts} can be lists or
vectors, with each member a port or a file descriptor.
The value returned is a list of three corresponding
lists or vectors containing only the members which meet the
specified requirement.  The ability of port buffers to
provide input or accept output is taken into account.
Ordering of the input lists or vectors is not preserved.

The optional arguments @var{secs} and @var{usecs} specify the
timeout.  Either @var{secs} can be specified alone, as
either an integer or a real number, or both @var{secs} and
@var{usecs} can be specified as integers, in which case
@var{usecs} is an additional timeout expressed in
microseconds.  If @var{secs} is omitted or is @code{#f} then
select will wait for as long as it takes for one of the other
conditions to be satisfied.

The scsh version of @code{select} differs as follows:
Only vectors are accepted for the first three arguments.
The @var{usecs} argument is not supported.
Multiple values are returned instead of a list.
Duplicates in the input vectors appear only once in output.
An additional @code{select!} interface is provided.

(fcntl object cmd value)
Apply @var{command} to the specified file descriptor or the underlying
file descriptor of the specified port.  @var{value} is an optional
integer argument.

Values for @var{command} are:

@table @code
@item F_DUPFD
Duplicate a file descriptor
@item F_GETFD
Get flags associated with the file descriptor.
@item F_SETFD
Set flags associated with the file descriptor to @var{value}.
@item F_GETFL

@item F_SETFL
Set flags associated with the open file to @var{value}
@item F_GETOWN
Get the process ID of a socket's owner, for @code{SIGIO} signals.
@item F_SETOWN
Set the process that owns a socket to @var{value}, for @code{SIGIO} signals.
@item FD_CLOEXEC
The value used to indicate the \"close on exec\" flag with @code{F_GETFL} or"
@code{F_SETFL}."

(readlink path)
Returns the value of the symbolic link named by
@var{path} (a string), i.e., the
file that the link points to.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:1224]

(lstat str)
Similar to @code{stat}, but does not follow symbolic links, i.e.,
it will return information about a symbolic link itself, not the
file it points to.  @var{path} must be a string.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/filesys.c:1254]

(copy-file oldfile newfile)

(make-fluid)
Return a newly created fluid.
Fluids are objects of a certain type (a smob) that can hold one SCM
value per dynamic root.  That is, modifications to this value are
only visible to code that executes within the same dynamic root as
the modifying code.  When a new dynamic root is constructed, it
inherits the values from its parent.  Because each thread executes
in its own dynamic root, you can use fluids for thread local storage.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/fluids.c:129]

(fluid? obj)
Return #t iff @var{obj} is a fluid; otherwise, return #f.

(with-fluids* fluids values thunk)
Set @var{fluids} to @var{values} temporary, and call @var{thunk}.
@var{fluids} must be a list of fluids and @var{values} must be the same
number of their values to be applied.  Each substitution is done
one after another.  @var{thunk} must be a procedure with no argument.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/fluids.c:228]

(setvbuf port mode size)
Set the buffering mode for @var{port}.  @var{mode} can be:
@table @code
@item _IONBF
non-buffered
@item _IOLBF
line buffered
@item _IOFBF
block buffered, using a newly allocated buffer of @var{size} bytes.
If @var{size} is omitted, a default size will be used.
@end table
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/fports.c:146]

(open-file filename modes)
Open the file whose name is @var{string}, and return a port
representing that file.  The attributes of the port are
determined by the @var{mode} string.  The way in
which this is interpreted is similar to C stdio:

The first character must be one of the following:

@table @samp
@item r
Open an existing file for input.
@item w
Open a file for output, creating it if it doesn't already exist
or removing its contents if it does.
@item a
Open a file for output, creating it if it doesn't already exist.
All writes to the port will go to the end of the file.
The \"append mode\" can be turned off while the port is in use
@pxref{Ports and File Descriptors, fcntl}
@end table

The following additional characters can be appended:

@table @samp
@item +
Open the port for both input and output.  E.g., @code{r+}: open
an existing file for both input and output.
@item 0
Create an \"unbuffered\" port.  In this case input and output operations
are passed directly to the underlying port implementation without
additional buffering.  This is likely to slow down I/O operations.
The buffering mode can be changed while a port is in use
@pxref{Ports and File Descriptors, setvbuf}
@item l
Add line-buffering to the port.  The port output buffer will be
automatically flushed whenever a newline character is written.
@end table

In theory we could create read/write ports which were buffered in one
direction only.  However this isn't included in the current interfaces.

If a file cannot be opened with the access requested,
@code{open-file} throws an exception.

(make-guardian)
Create a new guardian.
A guardian protects a set of objects from garbage collection,
allowing a program to apply cleanup or other actions.

make-guardian returns a procedure representing the guardian.
Calling the guardian procedure with an argument adds the
argument to the guardian's set of protected objects.
Calling the guardian procedure without an argument returns
one of the protected objects which are ready for garbage
collection or @code{#f} if no such object is available.
Objects which are returned in this way are removed from
the guardian.

(hashq key size)
Determine a hash value for KEY that is suitable for lookups in
a hashtable of size SIZE, where eq? is used as the equality
predicate.  The function returns an integer in the range 0 to
SIZE - 1.  NOTE that `hashq' may use internal addresses.
Thus two calls to hashq where the keys are eq? are not
guaranteed to deliver the same value if the key object gets
garbage collected in between.  This can happen, for example
with symbols:  (hashq 'foo n) (gc) (hashq 'foo n) may produce two
different values, since 'foo will be garbage collected.

(hashq-get-handle table obj)
This procedure is similar to its @code{-ref} cousin, but returns a

table size.  @code{assoc} must be an associator function, like
@code{assoc}, @code{assq} or @code{assv}.

By way of illustration, @code{hashq-set! table key} is equivalent
to @code{hashx-set! hashq assq table key}.

(hash-fold proc init table)
An iterator over hash-table elements.
Accumulates and returns a result by applying PROC successively.
The arguments to PROC are \"(key value prior-result)\" where key
and value are successive pairs from the hash table TABLE, and
prior-result is either INIT (for the first application of PROC)
or the return value of the previous application of PROC.
For example, @code{(hash-fold acons () tab)} will convert a hash
table into an a-list of key-value pairs.

(%read-delimited! delims buf gobble port start end)
Read characters from @var{port} into @var{buf} until one of the
characters in the @var{delims} string is encountered.  If @var{gobble?}
is true, store the delimiter character in @var{buf} as well; otherwise,
discard it.  If @var{port} is not specified, use the value of
@code{(current-input-port)}.  If @var{start} or @var{end} are specified,
store data only into the substring of @var{buf} bounded by @var{start}
and @var{end} (which default to the beginning and end of the buffer,
respectively).

Return a pair consisting of the delimiter that terminated the string and
the number of characters read.  If reading stopped at the end of file,
the delimiter returned is the @var{eof-object}; if the buffer was filled
without encountering a delimiter, this value is @var{#f}.

(%read-line port)
Read a newline-terminated line from @var{port}, allocating storage as
necessary.  The newline terminator (if any) is removed from the string,
and a pair consisting of the line and its delimiter is returned.  The
delimiter may be either a newline or the @var{eof-object}; if
@code{%read-line} is called at the end of file, it returns the pair
@code{(#<eof> . #<eof>)}.

(write-line obj port)
Display @var{obj} and a newline character to @var{port}.  If @var{port}

(redirect-port old new)
This procedure takes two ports and duplicates the underlying file
descriptor from @var{old-port} into @var{new-port}.  The
current file descriptor in @var{new-port} will be closed.
After the redirection the two ports will share a file position
and file status flags.

The return value is unspecified.

Unexpected behaviour can result if both ports are subsequently used
and the original and/or duplicate ports are buffered.

This procedure does not have any side effects on other ports or
revealed counts.

(fdopen fdes modes)
Returns a new port based on the file descriptor @var{fdes}.
Modes are given by the string @var{modes}.  The revealed count of the port
is initialized to zero.  The modes string is the same as that accepted
by @ref{File Ports, open-file}.

(primitive-move->fdes port fd)
Moves the underlying file descriptor for @var{port} to the integer
value @var{fdes} without changing the revealed count of @var{port}.
Any other ports already using this descriptor will be automatically
shifted to new descriptors and their revealed counts reset to zero.
The return value is @code{#f} if the file descriptor already had the
required value or @code{#t} if it was moved.

The resulting list is always newly allocated, except that it shares
structure with the last LIST argument.  The last argument may
actually be any object; an improper list results if the last
argument is not a proper list.
  (append '(a b) '(c . d))    =>  (a b c . d)

(append! args)
A destructive version of @code{append} (@pxref{Pairs and Lists,,,r4rs,
The Revised^4 Report on Scheme}).  The cdr field of each list's final
pair is changed to point to the head of the next list, so no consing is
performed.  Return a pointer to the mutated list.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/list.c:240]

(last-pair lst)
Return a pointer to the last pair in @var{lst}, signalling an error if

(reverse! lst new_tail)
A destructive version of @code{reverse} (@pxref{Pairs and Lists,,,r4rs,
The Revised^4 Report on Scheme}).  The cdr of each cell in @var{lst} is
modified to point to the previous list element.  Return a pointer to the
head of the reversed list.

Caveat: because the list is modified in place, the tail of the original
list now becomes its head, and the head of the original list now becomes
the tail.  Therefore, the @var{lst} symbol to which the head of the
original list was bound now points to the tail.  To ensure that the head
of the modified list is not lost, it is wise to save the return value of
@code{reverse!}

The first element of the list is considered to be element 0.

@code{list-cdr-ref} and @code{list-tail} are identical.  It may help to
think of @code{list-cdr-ref} as accessing the @var{k}th cdr of the list,
or returning the results of cdring @var{k} times down @var{lst}.

(delq! item lst)

These procedures are destructive versions of @code{delq}, @code{delv}
and @code{delete}: they modify the pointers in the existing @var{lst}

destructive list functions, these functions cannot modify the binding of

(gethost name)
@deffnx procedure gethostbyname hostname
@deffnx procedure gethostbyaddr address
Look up a host by name or address, returning a host object.  The
@code{gethost} procedure will accept either a string name or an integer
address; if given no arguments, it behaves like @code{gethostent} (see
below).  If a name or address is supplied but the address can not be
found, an error will be thrown to one of the keys:
@code{host-not-found}, @code{try-again}, @code{no-recovery} or
@code{no-data}, corresponding to the equivalent @code{h_error} values.
Unusual conditions may result in errors thrown to the
@code{system-error} or @code{misc_error} keys.

(getserv name proto)
@deffnx procedure getservbyname name protocol
@deffnx procedure getservbyport port protocol
Look up a network service by name or by service number, and return a
network service object.  The @var{protocol} argument specifies the name
of the desired protocol; if the protocol found in the network service
database does not match this name, a system error is signalled.

The @code{getserv} procedure will take either a service name or number
as its first argument; if given no arguments, it behaves like
@code{getservent} (see below).

(ash n cnt)
The function ash performs an arithmetic shift left by CNT bits
(or shift right, if CNT is negative).  'Arithmetic' means, that
the function does not guarantee to keep the bit structure of N,
but rather guarantees that the result will always be rounded
towards minus infinity.  Therefore, the results of ash and a
corresponding bitwise shift will differ if N is negative.

Formally, the function returns an integer equivalent to
@code{(inexact->exact (floor (* N (expt 2 CNT))))}.@refill

(string->number string radix)
Returns a number of the maximally precise representation
expressed by the given STRING. RADIX must be an exact integer,
either 2, 8, 10, or 16. If supplied, RADIX is a default radix
that may be overridden by an explicit radix prefix in STRING
(e.g. \"#o177\"). If RADIX is not supplied, then the default
radix is 10. If string is not a syntactically valid notation
for a number, then `string->number' returns #f.  (r5rs)

(truncate-file object length)
Truncates the object referred to by @var{obj} to at most @var{size} bytes.
@var{obj} can be a string containing a file name or an integer file
descriptor or a port.  @var{size} may be omitted if @var{obj} is not
a file name, in which case the truncation occurs at the current port.
position.

The return value is unspecified.

(port-column port)
@deffnx primitive port-line [input-port]
Return the current column number or line number of @var{input-port},
using the current input port if none is specified.  If the number is
unknown, the result is #f.  Otherwise, the result is a 0-origin integer
- i.e. the first character of the first line is line 0, column 0.
(However, when you display a file position, for example in an error
message, we recommand you add 1 to get 1-origin integers.  This is
because lines and column numbers traditionally start with 1, and that is
what non-programmers will find most natural.)

(set-port-filename! port filename)
Change the filename associated with @var{port}, using the current input
port if none is specified.  Note that this does not change the port's
source of data, but only the value that is returned by
@code{port-filename} and reported in diagnostic output.

(%make-void-port mode)
Create and return a new void port.  A void port acts like
/dev/null.  The @var{mode} argument
specifies the input/output modes for this port: see the
documentation for @code{open-file} in @ref{File Ports}.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/ports.c:1384]

(pipe)
Returns a newly created pipe: a pair of ports which are linked
together on the local machine.  The CAR is the input port and
the CDR is the output port.  Data written (and flushed) to the
output port can be read from the input port.
Pipes are commonly used for communication with a newly
forked child process.  The need to flush the output port
can be avoided by making it unbuffered using @code{setvbuf}.

Writes occur atomically provided the size of the data in
bytes is not greater than the value of @code{PIPE_BUF}
Note that the output port is likely to block if too much data
(typically equal to @code{PIPE_BUF}) has been written but not
yet read from the input port

@item @var{pid} greater than 0
The process whose identifier is @var{pid}.
@item @var{pid} equal to 0
All processes in the current process group.
@item @var{pid} less than -1

@var{sig} should be specified using a variable corresponding to
the Unix symbolic name, e.g.,

@defvar SIGHUP
Hang-up signal.
@end defvar

@defvar SIGINT
Interrupt signal.
@end defvar

(waitpid pid options)
This procedure collects status information from a child process which
has terminated or (optionally) stopped.  Normally it will
suspend the calling process until this can be done.  If more than one
child process is eligible then one will be chosen by the operating system.

The value of @var{pid} determines the behaviour:

@table @r
@item @var{pid} greater than 0
Request status information from the specified child process.
@item @var{pid} equal to -1 or WAIT_ANY
Request status information for any child process.
@item @var{pid} equal to 0 or WAIT_MYPGRP
Request status information for any child process in the current process
group.
@item @var{pid} less than -1
Request status information for any child process whose process group ID
is -@var{PID}.
@end table

The @var{options} argument, if supplied, should be the bitwise OR of the
values of zero or more of the following variables:

@defvar WNOHANG
Return immediately even if there are no child processes to be collected.
@end defvar

@defvar WUNTRACED
Report status information for stopped processes as well as terminated
processes.

The return value is a pair containing:

@enumerate
@item
The process ID of the child process, or 0 if @code{WNOHANG} was
specified and no process was collected.
@item
The integer status value.

(tcgetpgrp port)
Returns the process group ID of the foreground
process group associated with the terminal open on the file descriptor
underlying @var{port}.

If there is no foreground process group, the return value is a
number greater than 1 that does not match the process group ID
of any existing process group.  This can happen if all of the
processes in the job that was formerly the foreground job have
terminated, and no other job has yet been moved into the
foreground.

must be a member of the same session as @var{pgid} and must have the same
controlling terminal.  The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:788]

(execl filename args)
Executes the file named by @var{path} as a new process image.
The remaining arguments are supplied to the process; from a C program
they are accessable as the @code{argv} argument to @code{main}.
Conventionally the first @var{arg} is the same as @var{path}.
All arguments must be strings.  

If @var{arg} is missing, @var{path} is executed with a null
argument list, which may have system-dependent side-effects.

This procedure is currently implemented using the @code{execv} system
call, but we call it @code{execl} because of its Scheme calling interface.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:846]

(execlp filename args)
Similar to @code{execl}, however if
@var{filename} does not contain a slash
then the file to execute will be located by searching the
directories listed in the @code{PATH} environment variable.

This procedure is currently implemented using the @code{execvp} system
call, but we call it @code{execlp} because of its Scheme calling interface.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:867]

(execle filename env args)
Similar to @code{execl}, but the environment of the new process is
specified by @var{env}, which must be a list of strings as returned by the
@code{environ} procedure.

This procedure is currently implemented using the @code{execve} system
call, but we call it @code{execle} because of its Scheme calling interface.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:921]

(primitive-fork)
Creates a new \"child\" process by duplicating the current \"parent\" process.
In the child the return value is 0.  In the parent the return value is
the integer process ID of the child.

This procedure has been renamed from @code{fork} to avoid a naming conflict
with the scsh fork.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:945]

(uname)
Returns an object with some information about the computer system the
program is running on.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:960]

(environ env)
If @var{env} is omitted, returns the current environment as a list of strings.
Otherwise it sets the current environment, which is also the
default environment for child processes, to the supplied list of strings.
Each member of @var{env} should be of the form
@code{NAME=VALUE} and values of @code{NAME} should not be duplicated.
If @var{env} is supplied then the return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:989]

(tmpnam)
Create a new file in the file system with a unique name.  The return
value is the name of the new file.  This function is implemented with
the @code{tmpnam} function in the system libraries.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:1025]

(utime pathname actime modtime)
@code{utime} sets the access and modification times for
the file named by @var{path}.  If @var{actime} or @var{modtime}
is not supplied, then the current time is used.
@var{actime} and @var{modtime}
must be integer time values as returned by the @code{current-time}
procedure.

E.g.,

@smalllisp
(utime \"foo\" (- (current-time) 3600))
@end smalllisp

will set the access time to one hour in the past and the modification
time to the current time.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:1049]

(access? path how)
Returns @code{#t} if @var{path} corresponds to an existing
file and the current process
has the type of access specified by @var{how}, otherwise
@code{#f}.
@var{how} should be specified
using the values of the variables listed below.  Multiple values can
be combined using a bitwise or, in which case @code{#t} will only
be returned if all accesses are granted.

Permissions are checked using the real id of the current process,
not the effective id, although it's the effective id which determines
whether the access would actually be granted.

@defvar R_OK
test for read permission.
@end defvar
@defvar W_OK
test for write permission.
@end defvar
@defvar X_OK
test for execute permission.

(putenv str)
Modifies the environment of the current process, which is
also the default environment inherited by child processes.

If @var{string} is of the form @code{NAME=VALUE} then it will be written
directly into the environment, replacing any existing environment string
with
name matching @code{NAME}.  If @var{string} does not contain an equal
sign, then any existing string with name matching @var{string} will
be removed.

The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:1131]

(setlocale category locale)
If @var{locale} is omitted, returns the current value of the specified
locale category
as a system-dependent string.
@var{category} should be specified using the values @code{LC_COLLATE},
@code{LC_ALL} etc.

Otherwise the specified locale category is set to
the string @var{locale}
and the new value is returned as a system-dependent string.  If @var{locale}
is an empty string, the locale will be set using envirionment variables.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:1162]

(mknod path type perms dev)
Creates a new special file, such as a file corresponding to a device.
@var{path} specifies the name of the file.  @var{type} should
be one of the following symbols:
regular, directory, symlink, block-special, char-special,
fifo, or socket.  @var{perms} (an integer) specifies the file permissions.
@var{dev} (an integer) specifies which device the special file refers
to.  Its exact interpretation depends on the kind of special file
being created.

E.g.,
@example
(mknod \"/dev/fd0\" 'block-special #o660 (+ (* 2 256) 2))"
@end example
The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/posix.c:1203]

(nice incr)
Increment the priority of the current process by @var{incr}.  A higher

@code{#f} otherwise.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/regex-posix.c:140]

(make-regexp pat flags)
Compile the regular expression described by @var{str}, and return the
compiled regexp structure.  If @var{str} does not describe a legal
regular expression, @code{make-regexp} throws a
@code{regular-expression-syntax} error.

The @var{flag} arguments change the behavior of the compiled regexp.
The following flags may be supplied:

@table @code
@item regexp/icase
Consider uppercase and lowercase letters to be the same when matching.

@item regexp/newline
If a newline appears in the target string, then permit the @samp{^} and
@samp{$} operators to match immediately after or immediately before the
newline, respectively.  Also, the @samp{.} and @samp{[^...]} operators
will never match a newline character.  The intent of this flag is to
treat the target string as a buffer containing many lines of text, and
the regular expression as a pattern that may match a single one of those
lines.

@item regexp/basic
Compile a basic (``obsolete'') regexp instead of the extended
(``modern'') regexps that are the default.  Basic regexps do not
consider @samp{|}, @samp{+} or @samp{?} to be special characters, and
require the @samp{@{...@}} and @samp{(...)} metacharacters to be
backslash-escaped (@pxref{Backslash Escapes}).  There are several other
differences between basic and extended regular expressions, but these
are the most significant.

@item regexp/extended
Compile an extended regular expression rather than a basic regexp.  This
is the default behavior; this flag will not usually be needed.  If a
call to @code{make-regexp} includes both @code{regexp/basic} and
@code{regexp/extended} flags, the one which comes last will override
the earlier one.
@end table
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/regex-posix.c:180]

(regexp-exec rx str start flags)
Match the compiled regular expression @var{regexp} against @code{str}.
If the optional integer @var{start} argument is provided, begin matching
from that position in the string.  Return a match structure describing
the results of the match, or @code{#f} if no match could be found.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/regex-posix.c:227]

(call-with-dynamic-root thunk handler)
Evaluate @var{(thunk)} in a new dynamic context, returning its value.

If an error occurs during evaluation, apply @var{handler} to the
arguments to the throw, just as @code{throw} would.  If this happens,
@var{handler} is called outside the scope of the new root -- it is
called in the same dynamic context in which
@code{call-with-dynamic-root} was evaluated.

If @var{thunk} captures a continuation, the continuation is rooted at
the call to @var{thunk}.  In particular, the call to
@code{call-with-dynamic-root} is not captured.  Therefore,
@code{call-with-dynamic-root} always returns at most one time.

Before calling @var{thunk}, the dynamic-wind chain is un-wound back to
the root and a new chain started for @var{thunk}.  Therefore, this call
may not do what you expect:

@example
;; Almost certainly a bug:
(with-output-to-port
 some-port

 (lambda ()
   (call-with-dynamic-root
    (lambda ()
      (display 'fnord)
      (newline))
    (lambda (errcode) errcode))))
@end example

The problem is, on what port will @samp{fnord
} be displayed?  You
might expect that because of the @code{with-output-to-port} that
it will be displayed on the port bound to @code{some-port}.  But it
probably won't -- before evaluating the thunk, dynamic winds are
unwound, including those created by @code{with-output-to-port}.
So, the standard output port will have been re-set to its default value
before @code{display} is evaluated.

(This function was added to Guile mostly to help calls to functions in C
libraries that can not tolerate non-local exits or calls that return
multiple times.  If such functions call back to the interpreter, it should
be under a new dynamic root.)
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/root.c:375]

(dynamic-root)
Return an object representing the current dynamic root.

These objects are only useful for comparison using @code{eq?}.
They are currently represented as numbers, but your code should
in no way depend on this.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/root.c:388]

(sigaction signum handler flags)
Install or report the signal handler for a specified signal.

@var{signum} is the signal number, which can be specified using the value
of variables such as @code{SIGINT}.

If @var{action} is omitted, @code{sigaction} returns a pair: the
CAR is the current
signal hander, which will be either an integer with the value @code{SIG_DFL}
(default action) or @code{SIG_IGN} (ignore), or the Scheme procedure which
handles the signal, or @code{#f} if a non-Scheme procedure handles the
signal.  The CDR contains the current @code{sigaction} flags for the handler.

If @var{action} is provided, it is installed as the new handler for
@var{signum}.  @var{action} can be a Scheme procedure taking one
argument, or the value of @code{SIG_DFL} (default action) or
@code{SIG_IGN} (ignore), or @code{#f} to restore whatever signal handler
was installed before @code{sigaction} was first used.  Flags can
optionally be specified for the new handler (@code{SA_RESTART} will
always be added if it's available and the system is using restartable
system calls.)  The return value is a pair with information about the
old handler as described above.

This interface does not provide access to the \"signal blocking"
facility.  Maybe this is not needed, since the thread support may
provide solutions to the problem of consistent access to data
structures.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/scmsigs.c:200]

(restore-signals)
Return all signal handlers to the values they had before any call to
@code{sigaction} was made.  The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/scmsigs.c:359]

(alarm i)
Set a timer to raise a @code{SIGALRM} signal after the specified
number of seconds (an integer).  It's advisable to install a signal
handler for
@code{SIGALRM} beforehand, since the default action is to terminate
the process.

The return value indicates the time remaining for the previous alarm,
if any.  The new value replaces the previous alarm.  If there was
no previous alarm, the return value is zero.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/scmsigs.c:398]

(pause)
Pause the current process (thread?) until a signal arrives whose
action is to either terminate the current process or invoke a
handler procedure.  The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/scmsigs.c:413]

(sleep i)
Wait for the given number of seconds (an integer) or until a signal
arrives.  The return value is zero if the time elapses or the number
of seconds remaining otherwise.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/scmsigs.c:426]

(usleep i)
Sleep for I microseconds.
`usleep' is not available on all platforms.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/scmsigs.c:444]

(raise sig)

@var{sig} is as described for the kill procedure.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/scmsigs.c:474]

(system cmd)
Executes @var{cmd} using the operating system's \"command processor\".
Under Unix this is usually the default shell @code{sh}.  The value
returned is @var{cmd}'s exit status as returned by @code{waitpid}, which
can be interpreted using the functions above.

If @code{system} is called without arguments, it returns a boolean
indicating whether the command processor is available.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/simpos.c:75]

(getenv nam)
Looks up the string @var{name} in the current environment.  The return
value is @code{#f} unless a string of the form @code{NAME=VALUE} is
found, in which case the string @code{VALUE} is
returned.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/simpos.c:105]

(primitive-exit status)
Terminate the current process without unwinding the Scheme stack.
This is would typically be useful after a fork.  The exit status
is @var{status} if supplied, otherwise zero.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/simpos.c:121]

(htons in)
Returns a new integer from @var{value} by converting from host to

long integer.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:126]

(socket family style proto)
Returns a new socket port of the type specified by @var{family}, @var{style}
and @var{protocol}.  All three parameters are integers.  Typical values
for @var{family} are the values of @code{AF_UNIX}
and @code{AF_INET}.  Typical values for @var{style} are
the values of @code{SOCK_STREAM}, @code{SOCK_DGRAM} and @code{SOCK_RAW}.

@var{protocol} can be obtained from a protocol name using
@code{getprotobyname}.  A value of
zero specifies the default protocol, which is usually right.

A single socket port cannot by used for communication until
it has been connected to another socket.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:160]

(socketpair family style proto)
Returns a pair of connected (but unnamed) socket ports of the type specified
by @var{family}, @var{style} and @var{protocol}.
Many systems support only
socket pairs of the @code{AF_UNIX} family.  Zero is likely to be
the only meaningful value for @var{protocol}.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:184]

(getsockopt sock level optname)
Returns the value of a particular socket option for the socket
port @var{socket}.  @var{level} is an integer code for type of option
being requested, e.g., @code{SOL_SOCKET} for socket-level options.
@var{optname} is an
integer code for the option required and should be specified using one of
the symbols @code{SO_DEBUG}, @code{SO_REUSEADDR} etc.

The returned value is typically an integer but @code{SO_LINGER} returns a
pair of integers.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:217]

(setsockopt sock level optname value)
Sets the value of a particular socket option for the socket
port @var{socket}.  @var{level} is an integer code for type of option
being set, e.g., @code{SOL_SOCKET} for socket-level options.
@var{optname} is an
integer code for the option to set and should be specified using one of
the symbols @code{SO_DEBUG}, @code{SO_REUSEADDR} etc.
@var{value} is the value to which the option should be set.  For
most options this must be an integer, but for @code{SO_LINGER} it must
be a pair.

The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:288]

(shutdown sock how)
Sockets can be closed simply by using @code{close-port}. The
@code{shutdown} procedure allows reception or tranmission on a
connection to be shut down individually, according to the parameter
@var{how}:

@table @asis
@item 0
Stop receiving data for this socket.  If further data arrives,  reject it.
@item 1
Stop trying to transmit data from this socket.  Discard any
data waiting to be sent.  Stop looking for acknowledgement of
data already sent; don't retransmit it if it is lost.
@item 2
Stop both reception and transmission.
@end table

The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:375]

(connect sock fam address args)
Initiates a connection from @var{socket} to the address
specified by @var{address} and possibly @var{arg @dots{}}.  The format
required for @var{address}
and @var{arg} @dots{} depends on the family of the socket.

For a socket of family @code{AF_UNIX},
only @code{address} is specified and must be a string with the
filename where the socket is to be created.

For a socket of family @code{AF_INET},
@code{address} must be an integer Internet host address and @var{arg} @dots{}
must be a single integer port number.

The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:458]

(bind sock fam address args)
Assigns an address to the socket port @var{socket}.
Generally this only needs to be done for server sockets,
so they know where to look for incoming connections.  A socket
without an address will be assigned one automatically when it
starts communicating.

The format of @var{address} and @var{ARG} @dots{} depends on the family
of the socket.

For a socket of family @code{AF_UNIX}, only @var{address}
is specified and must
be a string with the filename where the socket is to be created.

For a socket of family @code{AF_INET}, @var{address} must be an integer
Internet host address and @var{arg} @dots{} must be a single integer
port number.

The values of the following variables can also be used for @var{address}:

@defvar INADDR_ANY
Allow connections from any address.
@end defvar

@defvar INADDR_LOOPBACK
The address of the local host using the loopback device.
@end defvar

@defvar INADDR_BROADCAST
The broadcast address on the local network.
@end defvar

@defvar INADDR_NONE
No address.
@end defvar

The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:505]

(listen sock backlog)
This procedure enables @var{socket} to accept connection
requests.  @var{backlog} is an integer specifying
the maximum length of the queue for pending connections.
If the queue fills, new clients will fail to connect until the
server calls @code{accept} to accept a connection from the queue.

The return value is unspecified.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:533]

(accept sock)
Accepts a connection on a bound, listening socket @var{socket}.  If there
are no pending connections in the queue, it waits until
one is available unless the non-blocking option has been set on the
socket.

The return value is a
pair in which the CAR is a new socket port for the connection and
the CDR is an object with address information about the client which
initiated the connection.

If the address is not available then the CDR will be an empty vector.

@var{socket} does not become part of the
connection and will continue to accept new requests.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:614]

(getsockname sock)
Returns the address of @var{socket}, in the same form as the object
returned by @code{accept}.  On many systems the address of a socket
in the @code{AF_FILE} namespace cannot be read.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:642]

(getpeername sock)
Returns the address of the socket that the socket @var{socket} is connected to,
in the same form as the object
returned by @code{accept}.  On many systems the address of a socket
in the @code{AF_FILE} namespace cannot be read.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:667]

(recv! sock buf flags)
Receives data from the socket port @var{socket}.  @var{socket} must already
be bound to the address from which data is to be received.
@var{buf} is a string into which
the data will be written.  The size of @var{buf} limits the amount of
data which can be received: in the case of packet
protocols, if a packet larger than this limit is encountered then some data
will be irrevocably lost.

The optional @var{flags} argument is a value or
bitwise OR of MSG_OOB, MSG_PEEK, MSG_DONTROUTE etc.

The value returned is the number of bytes read from the socket.

Note that the data is read directly from the socket file descriptor:any unread buffered port data is ignored.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:699]

(send sock message flags)
Transmits the string @var{message} on the socket port @var{socket}.
@var{socket} must already be bound to a destination address.  The
value returned is the number of bytes transmitted -- it's possible for
this to be less than the length of @var{message} if the socket is
set to be non-blocking.  The optional @var{flags} argument is a value or
bitwise OR of MSG_OOB, MSG_PEEK, MSG_DONTROUTE etc.

Note that the data is written directly to the socket file descriptor:
any unflushed buffered port data is ignored.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:728]

(recvfrom! sock buf flags start end)
Returns data from the socket port @var{socket} and also information about
where the data was received from.  @var{socket} must already
be bound to the address from which data is to be received.
@code{buf}, is a string into which
the data will be written.  The size of @var{buf} limits the amount of
data which can be received: in the case of packet
protocols, if a packet larger than this limit is encountered then some data
will be irrevocably lost.

The optional @var{flags} argument is a value or
bitwise OR of MSG_OOB, MSG_PEEK, MSG_DONTROUTE etc.

The value returned is a pair: the CAR is the number of bytes read from
the socket and the CDR an address object in the same form as returned by
@code{accept}.

The @var{start} and @var{end} arguments specify a substring of @var{buf}
to which the data should be written.

Note that the data is read directly from the socket file descriptor:
any unread buffered port data is ignored.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/socket.c:766]

(sendto sock message fam address args_and_flags)
Transmits the string @var{message} on the socket port @var{socket}.  The
destination address is specified using the @var{family}, @var{address} and
@var{arg} arguments, in a similar way to the @code{connect}
procedure.  The
value returned is the number of bytes transmitted -- it's possible for
this to be less than the length of @var{message} if the socket is
set to be non-blocking.  The optional @var{flags} argument is a value or
bitwise OR of MSG_OOB, MSG_PEEK, MSG_DONTROUTE etc.

Note that the data is written directly to the socket file descriptor:
any unflushed buffered port data is ignored.

(times)
Returns an object with information about real and processor time.
The following procedures accept such an object as an argument and
return a selected component:

@table @code
@item tms:clock
The current real time, expressed as time units relative to an
arbitrary base.
@item tms:utime
The CPU time units used by the calling process.
@item tms:stime
The CPU time units used by the system on behalf of the calling process.
@item tms:cutime
The CPU time units used by terminated child processes of the calling
process, whose status has been collected (e.g., using @code{waitpid}).
@item tms:cstime
Similarly, the CPU times units used by the system on behalf of
terminated child processes.

(localtime time zone)
Returns an object representing the broken down components of @var{time},
an integer like the one returned by @code{current-time}.  The time zone
for the calculation is optionally specified by @var{zone} (a string),
otherwise the @code{TZ} environment variable or the system default is
used.

(mktime sbd_time zone)
@var{bd-time} is an object representing broken down time and @code{zone}
is an optional time zone specifier (otherwise the TZ environment variable
or the system default is used).

Returns a pair: the CAR is a corresponding
integer time value like that returned
by @code{current-time}; the CDR is a broken down time object, similar to

(strftime format stime)
Formats a time specification @var{time} using @var{template}.  @var{time}
is an object with time components in the form returned by @code{localtime}
or @code{gmtime}.  @var{template} is a string which can include formatting
specifications introduced by a @code{%} character.  The formatting of
month and day names is dependent on the current locale.  The value returned
is the formatted string.

(strptime format string)
Performs the reverse action to @code{strftime}, parsing @var{string}
according to the specification supplied in @var{template}.  The
interpretation of month and day names is dependent on the current
locale.  The
value returned is a pair.  The CAR has an object with time components
in the form returned by @code{localtime} or @code{gmtime},
but the time zone components
are not usefully set.
The CDR reports the number of characters from @var{string} which
vwere used for the conversion.

(substring str start end)
Returns a newly allocated string formed from the characters
of STR beginning with index START (inclusive) and ending with
index END (exclusive).
STR must be a string, START and END must be exact integers satisfying:

0 <= START <= END <= (string-length STR).
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/strings.c:288]

(string-append args)

concatenation of the given strings, ARGS.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/strings.c:306]

(make-shared-substring str frm to)
Return a shared substring of @var{str}.  The semantics are the same as
for the @code{substring} function: the shared substring returned
includes all of the text from @var{str} between indexes @var{start}
(inclusive) and @var{end} (exclusive).  If @var{end} is omitted, it
defaults to the end of @var{str}.  The shared substring returned by
@code{make-shared-substring} occupies the same storage space as
@var{str}.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/strings.c:338]

(string-index str chr frm to)
Return the index of the first occurrence of @var{chr} in @var{str}.  The
optional integer arguments @var{frm} and @var{to} limit the search to
a portion of the string.  This procedure essentially implements the
@code{index} or @code{strchr} functions from the C library.

(qdocs:)  Returns the index of @var{char} in @var{str}, or @code{#f} if the
@var{char} isn't in @var{str}. If @var{frm} is given and not @code{#f},
it is used as the starting index; if @var{to} is given and not @var{#f},
it is used as the ending index (exclusive).

@example
(string-index "weiner" #\e)
@result{} 1

(string-index "weiner" #\e 2)
@result{} 4

(string-index "weiner" #\e 2 4)
@result{} #f

[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/strop.c:123]

(string-rindex str chr frm to)
Like @code{string-index}, but search from the right of the string rather
than from the left.  This procedure essentially implements the
@code{rindex} or @code{strrchr} functions from the C library.

(qdocs:) The same as @code{string-index}, except it gives the rightmost occurance
of @var{char} in the range [@var{frm}, @var{to}-1], which defaults to
the entire string.

@example
(string-rindex "weiner" #\e)
@result{} 4

@result{} #f

(string-rindex "weiner" #\e 2 5)

(substring-move! str1 start1 end1 str2 start2)
Copy the substring of @var{str1} bounded by @var{start1} and @var{end1}
into @var{str2} beginning at position @var{end2}.
@code{substring-move-right!} begins copying from the rightmost character
and moves left, and @code{substring-move-left!} copies from the leftmost
character moving right.

It is useful to have two functions that copy in different directions so
that substrings can be copied back and forth within a single string.  If
you wish to copy text from the left-hand side of a string to the
right-hand side of the same string, and the source and destination
overlap, you must be careful to copy the rightmost characters of the
text first, to avoid clobbering your data.  Hence, when @var{str1} and
@var{str2} are the same string, you should use
@code{substring-move-right!} when moving text from left to right, and
@code{substring-move-left!}  otherwise.  If @code{str1} and @samp{str2}
are different strings, it does not matter which function you use.

(substring-fill! str start end fill)
Change every character in @var{str} between @var{start} and @var{end} to

type, the second a field protection.  Allowed types are 'p' for
GC-protected Scheme data, 'u' for unprotected binary data, and 's' for
fields that should point to the structure itself.    Allowed protections
are 'w' for mutable fields, 'r' for read-only fields, and 'o' for opaque

this is the number of elements allocated to that array.

The @var{inits} are optional arguments describing how successive fields

@var{tail-size} specifies the size of the tail-array (if any) of
this vtable.

@var{inits} initializes the fields of the vtable.  Minimally, one
initializer must be provided: the layout specification for instances
of the type this vtable will describe.  If a second initializer is

(symbol->string s)
Returns the name of @var{symbol} as a string.  If the symbol was part of
an object returned as the value of a literal expression
(section @pxref{Literal expressions}) or by a call to the @samp{read} procedure,
and its name contains alphabetic characters, then the string returned
will contain characters in the implementation's preferred standard
case---some implementations will prefer upper case, others lower case.
If the symbol was returned by @samp{string->symbol}, the case of
characters in the string returned will be the same as the case in the
string that was passed to @samp{string->symbol}.  It is an error
to apply mutation procedures like @code{string-set!} to strings returned
by this procedure. (r5rs)

The following examples assume that the implementation's standard case is
lower case:

(string->symbol s)
Returns the symbol whose name is @var{string}.  This procedure can
create symbols with names containing special characters or letters in
the non-standard case, but it is usually a bad idea to create such
symbols because in some implementations of Scheme they cannot be read as
themselves.  See @samp{symbol->string}.

The following examples assume that the implementation's standard case is
lower case:

@format

(string->obarray-symbol o s softp)
Intern a new symbol in @var{obarray}, a symbol table, with name
@var{string}.

If @var{obarray} is @code{#f}, use the default system symbol table.  If
@var{obarray} is @code{#t}, the symbol should not be interned in any
symbol table; merely return the pair (@var{symbol}
. @var{#<undefined>}).

The @var{soft?} argument determines whether new symbol table entries
should be created when the specified symbol is not already present in
@var{obarray}.  If @var{soft?} is specified and is a true value, then
new entries should not be added for symbols not already present in the
table; instead, simply return @code{#f}.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/symbols.c:524]

(intern-symbol o s)
Add a new symbol to @var{obarray} with name @var{string}, bound to an

(unintern-symbol o s)
Remove the symbol with name @var{string} from @var{obarray}.  This

otherwise.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/symbols.c:593]

(symbol-binding o s)
Look up in @var{obarray} the symbol whose name is @var{string}, and
return the value to which it is bound.  If @var{obarray} is @code{#f},
use the global symbol table.  If @var{string} is not interned in
@var{obarray}, an error is signalled.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/symbols.c:634]

(symbol-interned? o s)
Return @var{#t} if @var{obarray} contains a symbol with name
@var{string}, and @var{#f} otherwise.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/symbols.c:651]

(symbol-bound? o s)
Return @var{#t} if @var{obarray} contains a symbol with name
@var{string} bound to a defined value.  This differs from
@var{symbol-bound?} in that the mere mention of a symbol usually causes
it to be interned; @code{symbol-bound?} determines whether a symbol has
been given any meaningful value.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/symbols.c:675]

(symbol-set! o s v)
Find the symbol in @var{obarray} whose name is @var{string}, and rebind

(gensym name obarray)
Create a new, unique symbol in @var{obarray}, using the global symbol
table by default.  If @var{name} is specified, it should be used as a

(catch tag thunk handler)
Invoke @var{thunk} in the dynamic context of @var{handler} for
exceptions matching @var{key}.  If thunk throws to the symbol @var{key},
then @var{handler} is invoked this way:

@example
(handler key args ...)
@end example

@var{key} is a symbol or #t.

@var{thunk} takes no arguments.  If @var{thunk} returns normally, that
is the return value of @code{catch}.

Handler is invoked outside the scope of its own @code{catch}.  If
@var{handler} again throws to the same key, a new handler from further
up the call chain is invoked.

If the key is @code{#t}, then a throw to @emph{any} symbol will match
this call to @code{catch}.

(lazy-catch tag thunk handler)
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/throw.c:555]

(throw key args)
Invoke the catch form matching @var{key}, passing @var{args} to the
@var{handler}.  

@var{key} is a symbol.  It will match catches of the same symbol or of

(array? v prot)
Returns @code{#t} if the @var{obj} is an array, and @code{#f} if not.

The @var{prototype} argument is used with uniform arrays and is described
elsewhere.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:267]

(array-rank ra)
Returns the number of dimensions of @var{obj}.  If @var{obj} is not an
array, @code{0} is returned.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:338]

(array-dimensions ra)
@code{Array-dimensions} is similar to @code{array-shape} but replaces
elements with a @code{0} minimum with one greater than the maximum. So:
@example
(array-dimensions (make-array 'foo '(-1 3) 5)) @result{} ((-1 3) 5)
@end example
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:376]

[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:423]

(shared-array-offset ra)
Return the root vector index of the first element in the array.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:434]

(shared-array-increments ra)
For each dimension, return the distance between elements in the root vector.

(dimensions->uniform-array dims prot fill)
@deffnx primitive make-uniform-vector length prototype [fill]
Creates and returns a uniform array or vector of type corresponding to
@var{prototype} with dimensions @var{dims} or length @var{length}.  If
@var{fill} is supplied, it's used to fill the array, otherwise
@var{prototype} is used.
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:557]

(make-shared-array oldra mapfunc dims)
@code{make-shared-array} can be used to create shared subarrays of other
arrays.  The @var{mapper} is a function that translates coordinates in
the new array into coordinates in the old array.  A @var{mapper} must be
linear, and its range must stay within the bounds of the old array, but
it can be otherwise arbitrary.  A simple example:
@example
(define fred (make-array #f 8 8))
(define freds-diagonal
  (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i) (list i i)) 8))
(array-set! freds-diagonal 'foo 3)
(array-ref fred 3 3) @result{} foo
(define freds-center
  (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i j) (list (+ 3 i) (+ 3 j))) 2 2))
(array-ref freds-center 0 0) @result{} foo
@end example
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:678]

(transpose-array ra args)
Returns an array sharing contents with @var{array}, but with dimensions
arranged in a different order.  There must be one @var{dim} argument for
each dimension of @var{array}.  @var{dim0}, @var{dim1}, @dots{} should
be integers between 0 and the rank of the array to be returned.  Each
integer in that range must appear at least once in the argument list.

The values of @var{dim0}, @var{dim1}, @dots{} correspond to dimensions
in the array to be returned, their positions in the argument list to
dimensions of @var{array}.  Several @var{dim}s may have the same value,
in which case the returned array will have smaller rank than
@var{array}.

examples:
@example
(transpose-array '#2((a b) (c d)) 1 0) @result{} #2((a c) (b d))
(transpose-array '#2((a b) (c d)) 0 0) @result{} #1(a d)
(transpose-array '#3(((a b c) (d e f)) ((1 2 3) (4 5 6))) 1 1 0) @result{}
                #2((a 4) (b 5) (c 6))
@end example
[/usr/obj/ports/guile-1.4/guile-1.4/libguile/unif.c:806]

(enclose-array ra axes)
@var{dim0}, @var{dim1} @dots{} should be nonnegative integers less than
the rank of @var{array}.  @var{enclose-array} returns an array
resembling an array of shared arrays.  The dimensions of each shared
array are the same as the @var{dim}th dimensions of the original array,
the dimensions of the outer array are the same as those of the original
array that did not match a @var{dim}.

An enclosed array is not a general Scheme array.  Its elements may not
be set using @code{array-set!}.  Two references to the same element of
an enclosed array will be @code{equal?} but will not in general be
@code{eq?}.  The value returned by @var{array-prototype} when given an
enclosed array is unspecified.

examples:
@example
(enclose-array '#3(((a b c) (d e f)) ((1 2 3) (4 5 6))) 1) @result{}
   #<enclosed-array (#1(a d) #1(b e) #1(c f)) (#1(1 4) #1(2 5) #1(3 6))>

(enclose-array '#3(((a b c) (d e f)) ((1 2 3) (4 5 6))) 1 0) @result{}
   #<enclosed-array #2((a 1) (d 4)) #2((b 2) (e 5)) #2((c 3) (f 6))>

(array-contents ra strict)
@deffnx primitive array-contents array strict
If @var{array} may be @dfn{unrolled} into a one dimensional shared array
without changing their order (last subscript changing fastest), then
@code{array-contents} returns that shared array, otherwise it returns
@code{#f}.  All arrays made by @var{make-array} and
@var{make-uniform-array} may be unrolled, some arrays made by
@var{make-shared-array} may not be.

If the optional argument @var{strict} is provided, a shared array will
be returned only if its elements are stored internally contiguous in
memory.

(uniform-array-read! ra port_or_fd start end)
@deffnx primitive uniform-vector-read! uve [port-or-fdes] [start] [end]
Attempts to read all elements of @var{ura}, in lexicographic order, as
binary objects from @var{port-or-fdes}.
If an end of file is encountered during
uniform-array-read! the objects up to that point only are put into @var{ura}
(starting at the beginning) and the remainder of the array is
unchanged.

The optional arguments @var{start} and @var{end} allow
a specified region of a vector (or linearized array) to be read,
leaving the remainder of the vector unchanged.

@code{uniform-array-read!} returns the number of objects read.
@var{port-or-fdes} may be omitted, in which case it defaults to the value

(bit-set*! v kv obj)
If uve is a bit-vector @var{bv} and uve must be of the same length.  If
@var{bool} is @code{#t}, uve is OR'ed into @var{bv}; If @var{bool} is @code{#f}, the
inversion of uve is AND'ed into @var{bv}.

If uve is a unsigned integer vector all the elements of uve must be
between 0 and the @code{LENGTH} of @var{bv}.  The bits of @var{bv}
corresponding to the indexes in uve are set to @var{bool}.

The return value is unspecified.

@item
procedure accepting a string for output
@item

@item
thunk for getting one character
@item
thunk for closing port (not by garbage collection)

For an output-only port only elements 0, 1, 2, and 4 need be
procedures.  For an input-only port only elements 3 and 4 need be
procedures.  Thunks 2 and 4 can instead be @code{#f} if there is no useful
operation for them to perform.

If thunk 3 returns @code{#f} or an @code{eof-object} (@pxref{Input,

(weak-vector? x)
Return @var{#t} if @var{obj} is a weak vector. Note that all weak
hashes are also weak vectors.

(make-weak-key-hash-table k)
@deffnx primitive make-weak-value-hash-table size
@deffnx primitive make-doubly-weak-hash-table size
Return a weak hash table with @var{size} buckets. As with any hash
table, choosing a good size for the table requires some caution.

You can modify weak hash tables in exactly the same way you would modify
regular hash tables. (@pxref{Hash Tables})

@deffnx primitive weak-value-hash-table? obj
@deffnx primitive doubly-weak-hash-table? obj
Return @var{#t} if @var{obj} is the specified weak hash table. Note
that a doubly weak hash table is neither a weak key nor a weak value
hash table.
