Chapter 5 The standard library

This chapter describes the standard library for the Join-Calculus. The modules from the standard library are linked to every executable generated by the jcc command. In case they contain primitives of Objective Caml, these primitives will be locally accessible from any runtime.

Unlike the core library, the modules from the standard library are not automatically ``opened'' when a compilation starts. Hence it is necessary to use qualified identifiers to refer to the functions provided by these modules, or to add open directives.

Module array: array operations
Module char: some operations on characters
Module graphics: graphics
Module hashtbl: extensible hash tables
Module list: lists
Module ml: basic types and functions from Ocaml pervasives
Module mlsys: system library
Module ns: global name server
Module pair: pairs
Module random: random numbers
Module sendback: sending messages from Objective Caml
Module shutdown: distributed termination
Module string: operations on strings
Module unix: interface to Unix system calls
