3.8 Libraries

A library is a collection of SINGULAR procedures in a file.
SINGULAR reads a library with the commands load and LIB. General information about the library is displayed by the command help libname_lib. After loading the library, its procedures can be used like the built-in SINGULAR functions.

To have the full functionality of a built-in function libraries have to comply with the few syntax rules described below.

Furthermore, libraries which are to be included in the SINGULAR distribution, have to comply with certain rules as explained in Guidelines for writing a library.
