class:: StartUp
summary:: register functions to be evaluated after the startup is finished

description::
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 link::Classes/SynthDef:: in the strong::initClass:: function of class files in order to be able to make the synthdef directory customizable by the startup script.
If an object is registered, strong::doOnStartUp:: must be implemented. Otherwise a function can be used.
ClassMethods::
method::add
Registers an object or function to be evaluated after startup is finished.
method::defer
Registers an object or function to be evaluated after startup is finished, or immediately, if this has happened already.
method::remove
Removes an object that was previously registered.
method::run
Call the object in order.
Examples::
code::
*initClass {
StartUp.add {
// something to do...
}
}
