library export

Learn library export in Scheme with a construct-specific explanation, unique example, engineering boundary, and mastery check.

10 min read • Advanced

library export is a focused Scheme topic inside I/O and Libraries. This lesson explains the construct itself, the state or value it operates on, and the observable result it produces.

Read the example as a small executable experiment. Identify the exact syntax that belongs to library export, then change one input and predict the result before running it.

Topic-specific example

scheme-08-09-library-export.scm
scheme Try It Live
(define-library (demo math) (export double) (import (scheme base)) (begin (define (double x) (* 2 x))))
Edge case / engineering note

library export has rules that are easy to miss when the example is copied mechanically. Check the feature-specific boundary shown by this construct: scope, mutability, evaluation order, type constraints, lifetime, error behavior, compile-time restrictions, or resource cleanup where applicable.
