The component "template" marks the beginning of every component manual and introduces the component. This template does not contain named data fields (such as a
Description field) like other templates. However, this introduction to each component does contain a standard set of information, including the full and abbreviated component names, a summary of the intended purpose of the component, and the associated top-level directory name for the component. This top-level component directory generally contains several subdirectories. It may contain:
|
|
|
-
|
One or more subdirectories that contain the source files that implement functions, classes, etc. for the component
|
|
-
|
A subdirectory containing files that support the Scheme interface, if applicable (*_scm)

A subdirectory containing object files (obj)
