 ====== Namespace std ======
+The ''std'' namespace contains a collection of standard definitions for channels, data types, and other components. This can be viewed as ACT's equivalent of the C++ standard template library.
+====== Functions ======
+===== Parameter-type functions =====
+<code act>
+export function max(pint a, b) : pint;
+</code>
+Returns the larger of the two ''pint''s.
+<code act>
+export function min(pint a, b) : pint;
+</code>
+Returns the smaller of the two ''pint''s.
+<code act>
+export function ceil_log2 (pint a) : pint;
+</code>
+Computes the smallest power of two that is at least as large as ''a''.
+<code act>
+export function pow(pint n, m) : pint;
+</code>
+Computes the quantity ''n'' to the power of ''m''. Note that ''pint''s use 64-bit representation.
+===== Runtime Functions =====
+<code act>
+export template<pint W; pint N; pint taps[N]> function fib_lfsr (int<W> state) : int<W>;
+</code>
+Given the current ''W''-bit state of a Fibonacci-style linear feedback shift register (LFSR), compute the next state. The LFSR has ''N'' taps, and the ith tap is at location ''taps[i]''.
+====== Definitions ======
+<code act>
+export template<pint ID, N,W>
+defproc rom (chan?(int<std::ceil_log2(N)>) addr; chan!(int<W>) dout);
+</code>
+(This can be used after ''actsim'' is installed.)
+<code act>
+export template<pint N, W>
+defproc ram (chan?(int<2>) rd; chan?(int<std::ceil_log2(N)>) addr;
+             chan?(int<W>) din;  chan!(int<W>) dout);
+</code>
+<code act>
+export defcell buf_arbiter(bool? a, b; bool! u, v) ;
+</code>
+<code act>
+export defcell ideal_arbiter(bool? a, b; bool! u, v) ;
+</code>
+<code act>
+export template<pint N, M>
+defproc arbiter(chan?(int<N>) A; chan?(int<M>) B; chan!(int<N>) Ap; chan!(int<M>) Bp);
+</code>
+====== Nested namespaces ======
+The ''std'' namespace contains a number of nested namespaces:
+  * [[data|data]]: Standard data types
+  * [[channels|channels]]: Standard channel definitions
+  * [[gates|gates]]: Commonly used gates
+  * [[cells|cells]]: A simple synchronous standard-cell library
+  * [[io|io]]: Standard I/O primitives
+  * [[bit|bit]]: Bit-manipulation functions
