You can create new modules using the syntactic form
define-module
. All definitions following this form until the
next define-module
are placed into the new module.
One module is usually placed into one file, and that file is installed in a location where Guile can automatically find it. The following session shows a simple example.
$ cat /usr/local/share/guile/site/foo/bar.scm (define-module (foo bar) #:export (frob)) (define (frob x) (* 2 x)) $ guile scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (foo bar)) scheme@(guile-user)> (frob 12) $1 = 24
