# `flowstdlib`
See [Code docs](../code/doc/flowstdlib/index.html)
A library of commonly used flows and functions that can be used by other `flows`.
The directory containing this library must be part of `FLOW_LIB_PATH` in order for the compiler to be able to
find the library `flow` and `function` definitions.
The chosen runtime to execute your flow must either have it statically linked (a feature) or have it compiled
(using `flowc` with `-l` option) and the directory containing the compiled WebAssembly `.wasm` files reachable
in order to load the functions at run-time.
