一个C格式的脚本处理函数库源代码,可让你的C程序具有执行C格式的脚本文件

What's here?

Each C file in this directory are heavily commented examples that illustrate
only one or two S-Lang features.  Some C files are accompanied by a .sl file
that contains S-Lang code relevant to the example.

If you find these demos confusing, please let me know so I can work on
improving them.

Please note that these demos WILL NOT WORK under msdos unless the S-lang
library is compiled with the -DFLOAT_TYPE option.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
pager.c:    A simple file pager demo.  Use pageup/down keys to scroll
            through the file.  It illustrates the SLsmg, SLsig, SLkp,
	    and SLscroll routines of the S-Lang library.  This example
	    should be contrasted with the curses demo ../src/curses/view.c.
	    
keypad.c:   Illustrates the slkeypad facility.

simple.c:   This file contains slightly more than the miniumum required to
	    embed S-Lang.  It loads a file specified on the command line.

simple.sl:  An S-Lang script that prompts for a filename and returns
            information about the file.  Use this with the `simple'
	    executable.
	    
array.c:    This example shows how to embed a C array into S-Lang allowing
            access to the array from a S-Lang script.  
array.sl:   This script reads and writes the array specified in array.c.

useropen.c  This example shows how to specify an object that S-Lang will
	    interpret.  S-lang already knows how to interpret code contained
	    in strings and files.  Interpreting code from a `readline'
	    structure is illustrated here.  The demo in ../src/calc.c uses
	    this technique to interpret data from S-Lang's readline routines.
	    
complex.c   Adding an application defined data type is the focus of this
            example.  Specifically, a complex number type is added and the
	    binary and unary operators are overloaded to work with the new
	    type. 
complex.sl  A script that manipulates the complex number type defined in
            complex.c.
