The Definition Commands
=======================

  Texinfo provides more than a dozen definition commands, all of which
are described in this section.

  The definition commands automatically enter the name of the entity in
the appropriate index: for example, `@deffn', `@defun', and `@defmac'
enter function names in the index of functions; `@defvr' and `@defvar'
enter variable names in the index of variables.

  Although the examples that follow mostly illustrate Lisp, the commands
can be used for other programming languages.

Functions Commands: Commands for functions and similar entities.
Variables Commands: Commands for variables and similar entities.
Typed Functions: Commands for functions in typed languages.
Typed Variables: Commands for variables in typed languages.
Abstract Objects: Commands for object-oriented programming.
Data Types: The definition command for data types.
