Distribution::Path Reference

Distribution::Path

What it is #

Routines #

Signatures are reproduced from the documentation, including their declared return types. A routine listed here is part of the type's published interface; whether Raku++ implements it is a separate question, answered by the examples below.

method new #

method new(IO::Path $prefix, IO::Path :$meta-file = IO::Path)

Creates a new Distribution::Path instance from the META6.json file found at the given $prefix, and from which all paths in the metadata will be prefixed with. :$meta-file may optionally be passed if a filename other than META6.json needs to be used.

method meta #

method meta(Distribution::Path:D:)

Returns a Hash with the representation of the metadata.

method content #

Distribution::Locally#method_content Returns an IO::Handle to the file represented by $name-path. $name-path is a relative path as it would be found in the metadata such as lib/Foo.rakumod or resources/foo.txt.

Examples, run three ways #

Every example below comes from the official documentation, together with the output that documentation asserts. Each was then executed by Rakudo and by Raku++ when this page was built. Where the three agree, one result is shown; where they do not, all three are — because which of them is wrong is exactly the information worth having.
