Extensions
Extensions are additional functions, usually developed in C or Fortran,
which extend the core functionality of LME, the programming language of Sysquake.
Extensions are grouped in so-called shared libraries or
dynamically-linked libraries (DLL) files. At startup, Sysquake
loads all extensions it finds in the folder LMEExt in the same
location as the Sysquake program file. Each extension initializes itself and
usually displays a line of information in the Command window. No further action
is needed in order to use the new functions.
You can also develop and add your own extensions, as explained in the
next chapter.
Here is the list of the extensions currently provided with Sysquake.
