| # Modules | |
| In addition to core language features, Meson also provides a module | |
| system aimed at providing helper methods for common build operations. | |
| Using modules is simple, first you import them: | |
| ```meson | |
| mymod = import('somemodule') | |
| ``` | |
| After this you can use the returned object to use the functionality | |
| provided: | |
| ```meson | |
| mymod.do_something('text argument') | |
| ``` | |
| Meson has a selection of modules to make common requirements easy to | |
| use. Modules can be thought of like the standard library of a | |
| programming language. Currently Meson provides the modules listed on | |
| subpages. |
