  A char-table can also have a @dfn{default value}.  If so, then
@code{(aref @var{char-table} @var{c})} returns the default value
whenever the char-table does not specify any other non-@code{nil} value.

@defun make-char-table subtype &optional init
@tindex make-char-table
Return a newly created char-table, with subtype @var{subtype}.  Each
element is initialized to @var{init}, which defaults to @code{nil}.  You
cannot alter the subtype of a char-table after the char-table is
created.

There is no argument to specify the length of the char-table, because
all char-tables have room for any valid character code as an index.
@end defun

@defun char-table-p object
@tindex char-table-p
This function returns @code{t} if @var{object} is a char-table,
otherwise @code{nil}.
@end defun

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

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

@defun set-char-table-parent char-table new-parent
@tindex set-char-table-parent
This function sets the parent of @var{char-table} to @var{new-parent}.
@end defun

@defun char-table-extra-slot char-table n
@tindex char-table-extra-slot
This function returns the contents of extra slot @var{n} of
@var{char-table}.  The number of extra slots in a char-table is
determined by its subtype.
@end defun

@defun set-char-table-extra-slot char-table n value
@tindex set-char-table-extra-slot
This function stores @var{value} in extra slot @var{n} of
@var{char-table}.
@end defun

  A char-table can specify an element value for a single character code;
it can also specify a value for an entire character set.

@defun char-table-range char-table range
@tindex char-table-range
This returns the value specified in @var{char-table} for a range of
characters @var{range}.  Here are the possibilities for @var{range}:

@table @asis
@item @code{nil}

name.  @xref{Splitting Characters}, for a description of generic characters.
@end table
@end defun

@defun set-char-table-range char-table range value
@tindex set-char-table-range
This function sets the value in @var{char-table} for a range of
characters @var{range}.  Here are the possibilities for @var{range}:

@table @asis
@item @code{nil}

name.  @xref{Splitting Characters}, for a description of generic characters.
@end table
@end defun

@defun map-char-table function char-table
@tindex map-char-table
This function calls @var{function} for each element of @var{char-table}.
@var{function} is called with two arguments, a key and a value.  The key
is a possible @var{range} argument for @code{char-table-range}---either
a valid character or a generic character---and the value is
@code{(char-table-range @var{char-table} @var{key})}.

  There are two special functions for working with bool-vectors; aside
from that, you manipulate them with same functions used for other kinds
of arrays.

@defun make-bool-vector length initial
@tindex make-bool-vector
Return a new book-vector of @var{length} elements,
each one initialized to @var{initial}.
@end defun

@defun bool-vector-p object
@tindex bool-vector-p
This returns @code{t} if @var{object} is a bool-vector,
and @code{nil} otherwise.
@end defun

This function returns the contents of extra slot @var{n} of
@var{char-table}.  The number of extra slots in a char-table is
determined by its subtype.
