@item
The length of the array is fixed once you create it; you cannot
change the length of an existing array.

@item
The array is a constant, for evaluation---in other words, it evaluates
to itself.

@item
The elements of an array may be referenced or changed with the functions
@code{aref} and @code{aset}, respectively (@pxref{Array Functions}).
@end itemize

@defun char-table-subtype char-table
This function returns the subtype symbol of @var{char-table}.
@end defun

@defun set-char-table-default char-table new-default
This function sets the default value of @var{char-table} to
@var{new-default}.

There is no special function to access the default value of a char-table.
To do that, use @code{(char-table-range @var{char-table} nil)}.
@end defun

@defun char-table-parent char-table
This function returns the parent of @var{char-table}.  The parent is
always either @code{nil} or another char-table.

@item @var{charset}
Refers to the value specified for the whole character set
@var{charset} (@pxref{Character Sets}).

@item @var{generic-char}
A generic character stands for a character set; specifying the generic
character as argument is equivalent to specifying the character set
name.  @xref{Splitting Characters}, for a description of generic characters.

@defun set-char-table-range char-table range value
This function sets the value in @var{char-table} for a range of

@defun set-char-table-default char-table char new-default
This function sets the default value of generic character @var{char}
in @var{char-table} to @var{new-default}.

There is no special function to access default values in a char-table.
To do that, use @code{char-table-range} (see below).

always either @code{nil} or another char-table.

@item @var{charset}
Refers to the value specified for the whole character set
@var{charset} (@pxref{Character Sets}).

A generic character stands for a character set, or a row of a
character set; specifying the generic character as argument is
equivalent to specifying the character set name.  @xref{Splitting
Characters}, for a description of generic characters.
