+# Runner Library
+
+The runner library is used to execute one script from inside another. It also has functions that allow you to retrieve variables from the other script.
+
+The runner library has a concept called a "dirty" script - dirty scripts are those which have already been run, and whose variables can be accessed. Dirty scripts must be reset before it is run again.
+
+When using this library, you must first initialize the "drives" that are available. A drive is a simple way to ensure that the user and any modders don't have access to the entire hard drive. To set up the drives, you must designate a name for each folder you wish to enable access to, like so:
+
+```c
+//it's a good idea to place this early in the program's execution, where it will only be run once
+int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
+    //the drive system uses a LiteralDictionary, which must be initialized with this
+	initDriveDictionary();
+
+    //create a pair of literals, the first for the drive name, the second for the path
+	Literal driveLiteral = TO_STRING_LITERAL(createRefString("scripts"));
+	Literal pathLiteral = TO_STRING_LITERAL(createRefString("C:/path/to/scripts"));
+
+    //set these within the drive dictionary
+	setLiteralDictionary(getDriveDictionary(), driveLiteral, pathLiteral);
+
+    //these literals are no longer needed
+	freeLiteral(driveLiteral);
+	freeLiteral(pathLiteral);
+
+    //run the rest of your program
+    repl();
+
+    //clean up the drive dictionary when you're done
+    freeDriveDictionary();
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+The runner library can usually be accessed with the `import` keyword:
+
+```toy
+import runner;
+```
+
+## loadScript(path: string)
+
+This is used to load an external script into an opaque variable.
+
+This function does a lot of work:
+
+* It validates the file path using the drive syntax (see above)
+* It reads in the source code of the script file
+* It compiles the source script into bytecode
+* It constructs and intializes an Interpreter
+* It packages it all into an opaque variable and returns it
+
+## loadScriptBytecode(path: string)
+
+*Not Yet Implemented*
+
+## _runScript(self: opaque)
+
+This function executes an external script, which must first be loaded into an opaque variable with either `loadScript()` or `loadScriptBytecode()`.
+
+## _getScriptVar(self: opaque, name: string)
+
+This function retrieves a variable from the top level of a script's environment.
+
+## _callScriptFn(self: opaque, name: string, ...rest)
+
+This function retrieves a function from the top level of a script's environment, and calls it with `rest` as the argument list.
+
+## _resetScript(self: opaque)
+
+This function resets the script so that it is no longer in a "dirty" state, and can be re-run using `_runScript()`.
+
+## _freeScript(self: opaque)
+
+This function frees a script's resources, cleaning up any memory that is no longer needed. Failing to call this will result in a memory leak.
