S-Lang is an interpreted language that was designed from the start to be easily embedded into a program to provide it with a powerful extension language. Examples of programs that use S-Lang as an extension language include the jed text editor and the slrn newsreader. Although S-Lang does not exist as a separate application, it is distributed with a quite capable program called slsh ("slang-shell") that embeds the interpreter and allows one to execute S-Lang scripts, or simply experiment with S-Lang at an interactive prompt. Many of the the examples in this document are presented in the context of one of the above applications.
S-Lang is also a programmer's library that permits a programmer to develop sophisticated platform-independent software. In addition to providing the S-Lang interpreter, the library provides facilities for screen management, keymaps, low-level terminal I/O, etc. However, this document is concerned only with the extension language and does not address these other features of the S-Lang library. For information about the other components of the library, the reader is referred to the S-Lang Library C Programmer's Guide.
