| <p> |
| The library consists of include files only, hence there is no |
| installation procedure. The <code class="literal">boost</code> include directory |
| must be on the include path. |
| There are a number of include files that give different functionality: |
| |
| |
| </p> |
| <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"> |

| Any other header files in the package are for internal use. |
| Additionally, the library depends on two other Boost Libraries, the |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Tuple</em></span> <a class="xref" href="../lambda.html#cit:boost::tuple" title="The Boost Tuple Library">[<abbr class="abbrev">tuple</abbr>]</a> and the <span class="emphasis"><em>type_traits</em></span> <a class="xref" href="../lambda.html#cit:boost::type_traits" title="The Boost type_traits">[<abbr class="abbrev">type_traits</abbr>]</a> libraries, and on the <code class="filename">boost/ref.hpp</code> header. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| All definitions are placed in the namespace <code class="literal">boost::lambda</code> and its subnamespaces. |

| <p>In most code examples, we omit the namespace prefixes for names in the <code class="literal">std</code> and <code class="literal">boost::lambda</code> namespaces. |
| Implicit using declarations |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"> |
| using namespace std; |
| using namespace boost::lambda; |

| are assumed to be in effect. |
