void backspace( [int num = 1] )

Delete character to the left of the cursor.

int basename( string pathname,
[string suffix] )

Return the last component of a pathname.

Editing any file is a simple as running GRIEF against the file image.

int beep( [int freq],
[int duration] )

Issue a beep sound.

int beginning_of_line()

Goto beginning of line.

int below( declare expr1,
declare expr2 )

Less than comparison.

int below_eq( declare expr1,
declare expr2 )

Less than or equal comparison.

Bitwise Logical operations are executed by the following operators

Bitwise Shift operations are executed by the following operators

int bless( [int ref],
[string classname] )

Associate an object with a class/module.

list bookmark_list()

Retrieve existing bookmark list.

A bookmark allows a record of the current buffer position to be saved for quick navigation to the same location at a later time.

bool sym1, sym2 ...;

Declare a boolean symbol.

int borders( [int borders] )

Set window border status.

extern const string BPACKAGES;

BRIEF packages default.

Curly braces are used to define the beginning and end of functions definitions, to group multiple statements together within a single function, for example.

break;

break statement.

break clause.

Brief, BRIEF, or B.R.I.E.F., an acronym for Basic Reconfigurable Interactive Editing Facility, was a programmer’s text editor in the 1980s and early 1990s.

As buffers are the basic editing construct utilised by Grief, they also represent the primary user interface.

The following primitives are used to manage buffer content.

Buffer attribute constants.

Buffers can are identfied by one of two means, firstly by name and secondary its associated unique buffer handle or identifier.

Buffers are maintained in a circular list, refered to as the buffer list.

Buffers are the basic editing construct utilised by Grief.

A built-in function is a function that was implemented in the interpreter and was not written in the Grief language.
