AHELP for CIAO 3.4 autoload Context: slangrtl

Synopsis

Load a function from a file

Syntax

autoload (String_Type funct, String_Type file)

Description

The autoload function is used to declare funct to the interpreter and indicate that it should be loaded from file when it is actually used.

Example

Suppose bessel_j0 is a function defined in the file bessel.sl. Then the statement

      autoload ("bessel_j0", "bessel.sl");

will cause bessel.sl to be loaded prior to the execution of bessel_j0
