<h3>What it is</h3>
<p>ASDF is a tool for describing how source files are organized:
what depends on which and when.
</p>
<p>It is roughly what Common-Lisp hackers use to build software
where C hackers would use say GNU Make.
</p>
<p>ASDF stands for <em>A</em>nother <em>S</em>ystem <em>D</em>efinition <em>F</em>acility,
in the continuity of the Lisp DEFSYSTEM of yore.
</p>
<a id="documentation"></a>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>You can read our manual:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="asdf.html">as one HTML file</a></li>
<li><a href="asdf/">split into one HTML file per section</a></li>
<li><a href="asdf.pdf">as a PDF document</a></li>
<li><a href="http://common-lisp.net/gitweb?p=projects/asdf/asdf.git;a=blob;f=asdf.texinfo">as texinfo source</a></li>
</ul>
