These functions are all most commonly typed in at the ML Top-Loop.
One is free to define abbreviations or alternative ML functions in terms
of these primitives
The functions take the following kinds of arguments:
- obname
-
An ML string. The name of an object. Acceptable names are composed
from the alphabet
a-zA-Z0-9_
. The first character should
be a letter.
- place
-
An ML string. The name of an object. The library position understood is
immediately before the object named. `
last `
may be used
to refer to a fictitious object after the last object in library.
- n
-
A non-negative number.
- ()
-
This is the unique inhabitant of the ML type unit.
Remember that ML strings are always enclosed in
"
characters, and that ML functions are always terminated by
;;
. Some commands take lists as arguments; ML Lists are
delimited by
[]'s
and use
;
to separate items.
