What is Elib?

Elib, the GNU Emacs lisp library, is a collection of elisp functions which you can use as parts of your own elisp programs. Each file contains functions which have something in common, e.g. they handle a certain data type.

Elib is designed to be both as efficient and as easy to use as possible. Each file in Elib uses the elisp function provide to tell emacs when it has been loaded. To use the functions in the file foo, you just have to put a line such as:

(require 'foo)

into your own elisp file. This will cause emacs to load the file foo.elc and evaluate the functions in it. This, of course, requires that your system manager has installed Elib properly on your system.
