How To Include This Module.
|
|
|
|
What to do to make use of the arch module in a new command-line tool.
|
|
|
|
@h Status.
|
|
The arch module provided as one of the "services" suite of modules, which means
|
|
that it was built with a view to potential incorporation in multiple tools.
|
|
It can be found, for example, in //inform7//, //inbuild// and //arch-test//.
|
|
|
|
By convention, the modules considered as "services" have no dependencies on
|
|
other modules except for //foundation// and other "services" modules.
|
|
|
|
A tool can import //arch// only if it also imports //foundation//.
|
|
|
|
@h Importing the module.
|
|
We'll use the term "parent" to mean the tool which is importing //arch//,
|
|
that is, which will include its code and be able to use it. As with any
|
|
imported module,
|
|
(*) The contents page of the parent's web must identify and locate the
|
|
module:
|
|
= (text as Inweb)
|
|
Import: somepath/arch
|
|
=
|
|
(*) The parent must call |ArchModule::start()| just after it starts up, and
|
|
|ArchModule::end()| just before it shuts down. (But just after, and just
|
|
before, the corresponding calls to //foundation//.)
