  32 <p class="p3">StartUp registers functions to perform an action after the library has been compiled, and after the startup file has run. For instance this is used for creating <a href="../ServerArchitecture/SynthDef.html"><span class="s2">SynthDef</span></a> in the <b>initClass</b> function of class files in order to be able to make the synthdef directory customizable by the startup script.</p>
  33 <p class="p2"><br></p>
  34 <p class="p3">If an object is registered, <b>doOnStartUp</b> must be implemented. Otherwise a function can be used.</p>
