Bibliography


This chapter presents the Bigloo standard library. Bigloo is mostly R5RS compliant but it proposes many extensions to this standard and it proposes many extensions. In a first section (Scheme Library) the Bigloo R5RS support is presented. This section also contains various function that are not standard (for instance, various functions used to manage a file system). Then, in the following sections (Structures and Records, Serialization, Bit Manipulation, System Programming and Posix Regular Expressions Bigloo specific extensions are presented. Bigloo input and output facilities constitue a large superset of the standard Scheme definition. For this reason they are presented in a separate section (Input and Output).
