@chapter Introduction
ASDF is Another System Definition Facility: a tool for describing the
sub-systems and files that comprise a system and for operating on these
components in the right order so that they can be compiled, loaded,
tested, etc.
ASDF presents two faces: one for system implementors who need to be able
to describe their systems and one for Lisp programmers who want to use
those systems. @xref{Using asdf to load systems,the getting started guide}, to learn how to use ASDF to
load a system. @xref{Defining systems with defsystem}, to learn how to
define a system of your own. Later chapters describe the ASDF internals
and how to extend ASDF.
