member(x, ...) : x?
test membership
member(x, ...) returns x if its second and subsequent arguments are all members of set, cset, list
or table x but fails otherwise. If x is a cset, all of the characters in subsequent string arguments
must be present in x in order to succeed.
membernames(x) : list
class member names
membernames(x) produces a list containing the string names of the fields of x, where x is either
an object or a string name of a class.
methodnames(x) : list
class method names
methodnames(x) produces a list containing the string names of the methods defined in class x,
where x is either an object or a string name of a class.
methods(x) : list
class method list
methods(x) produces a list containing the procedure values of the methods of x, where x is either
an object or a string name of a class.
min(n, ...) : number
smallest value
min(x, ...) returns the smallest value among its arguments, which must be numeric.
mkdir(s, s?) : ?
create directory
mkdir(path, mode) creates a new directory named path with mode mode. The optional mode
parameter can be numeric or a string of the form accepted by chmod(). The function succeeds if
a new directory is created.
move(i:1) : string
move scanning position
move(i) moves &pos i characters from the current position and returns the substring of &subject
between the old and new positions. This function reverses its effects by resetting the position to
its old value if it is resumed.
mutex(x,y) : x
create a mutex
mutex() creates a new mutex. For mutex(x) associates the new mutex with structure x. The call
mutex(x,y) associates an existing mutex y (or mutex associated with protected object y) with
structure x.
name(v, CE:&current) : string
variable name
name(v) returns the name of variable v within the program that created co-expression c. Keyword
variables are recognized and named correctly. name() returns the base type and subscript or field
information for variables that are elements within other values, but does not produce the source
code variable name for such variables.
numeric(any) : number
convert to number
numeric(x) produces an integer or real number resulting from the type conversion of x, but fails
if the conversion is not possible.
open(s, s:”rt”, ...) : file?
open file
