If @var{array} is a string and @var{object} is not a character, a
-@code{wrong-type-argument} error results. If @var{array} is a string
-and @var{object} is character, but @var{object} does not use the same
-number of bytes as the character currently stored in @code{(aref
-@var{object} @var{index})}, that is also an error. @xref{Splitting
-Characters}.
+@code{wrong-type-argument} error results. The function converts a
+unibyte string to multibyte if necessary to insert a character.
@end defun
@defun fillarray array object
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
@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}.
@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
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}:
@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}:
@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
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
