.. highlight:: python
The Cretonne meta language is used to define instructions for Cretonne. It is a
domain specific language embedded in Python.
An instruction set is described by a Python module under the :file:`meta`
directory that has a global variable called ``instructions``. The basic
Cretonne instruction set described in :doc:`langref` is defined by the Python
module :mod:`cretonne.instrs`.
