1.1 Conventions

In this manual, we’ll use this kind of syntax to indicate the usage of API:

(api-name arg1 arg2 #:key0 val0 ... [optional-arg1 <- default-value1] ...)

If you’re not comfortable with this syntax, maybe you’re a newbie of Scheme, and I would recommend you read Basic in Scheme chapter first.
