NAME

6       sets - Functions for set manipulation.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Sets are collections of elements with no duplicate elements. The repre‐
10       sentation of a set is undefined.
11
12       This module provides the same interface as the  ordsets(3)  module  but
13       with  an  undefined  representation.  One difference is that while this
14       module considers two elements as different if they do not match  (=:=),
15       ordsets  considers two elements as different if and only if they do not
16       compare equal (==).

20
21              As returned by new/0.
