scsh-yp v0.2
* What is scsh-yp?
Scsh-yp is a package for scsh, the Scheme shell that provides
bindings to the YP/NIS functions. This enables the scsh user to
lookup data in a NIS or YP database without calling the
corresponding external program (i. e. ypbind, ypmatch etc).
* How to install
Scsh 0.6.6 introduced support for a package system, which manages
the automatic installation of library code for scsh. This package
uses Michel Schinz' package management system to install itself.
The package system is ditributed seperatly, so you need to get and
install it first.[1] The file INSTALL explains how to use the
package installation program. For the impatient, run
scsh-install-pkg from the scsh-yp directory:
scsh-install-pkg --prefix=/usr/local/scsh-modules
The argument for the prefix option should point to the directory
where you your scsh libaries. There is a little amount of C code
that will compiled to a shared library. If directory is shared
across multiple machines and platforms, each platform gets its own
shared library in a seperate directory.
* How to use
