* Overview

This directory contains examples illustrating various aspects of Guile
programming.

If you plan writing Scheme programs, have a look at the `scripts'
directory. To learn more about Guile modules, check out the `modules'
directory, and maybe the `box-module' and `box-dynamic-module'
directories, if you are into C programming or shared libraries,
respectively. The `safe' directory contains examples for evaluation
Scheme code in controlled environments (sandboxing). The directories
`box', `box-module', `box-dynamic' and `box-dynamic-module' are
interesting if you plan writing Guile extensions.

See the README files in the subdirectories for details.


* Included Examples

scripts Examples for writing simple scripts in Guile Scheme.

box Example for extending Guile with a new data type.

box-module Similar to `box', but defines new procedures in a
named module.
box-dynamic Implements the box type in a dynamically loadable
library.
box-dynamic-module Combination of `box-module' and `box-dynamic':
Implements the `box' type in a shared library and
defines the procedures in a Guile module.

modules Examples for writing and using Guile modules.

safe Examples for creating and using safe environments.

compat autoconf code for making a Guile extension
compatible with older versions of Guile.
