<h3 class="section">16.5 The Definition Commands</h3>

<p>Texinfo provides more than a dozen definition commands, all of which
are described in this section.
</p>
<p>The definition commands automatically enter the name of the entity in
the appropriate index: for example, <code>@deffn</code>, <code>@defun</code>,
and <code>@defmac</code> enter function names in the index of functions;
<code>@defvr</code> and <code>@defvar</code> enter variable names in the index
of variables.
</p>
<p>Although the examples that follow mostly illustrate Lisp, the commands
can be used for other programming languages.
