Module Load_path

module Load_path: sig .. end

Management of include directories.

This module offers a high level interface to locating files in the load path, which is constructed from -I command line flags and a few other parameters.

It makes the assumption that the contents of include directories doesn't change during the execution of the compiler.


let add_dir: string => unit;

Add a directory to the load path

let remove_dir: string => unit;

Remove a directory from the load path

let reset: unit => unit;

Remove all directories

let init: list(string) => unit;

init l is the same as reset (); List.iter add_dir (List.rev l)

let get_paths: unit => list(string);

Return the list of directories passed to add_dir so far.

let find: string => string;

Locate a file in the load path. Raise Not_found if the file cannot be found. This function is optimized for the case where the filename is a basename, i.e. doesn't contain a directory separator.

let find_uncap: string => string;

Same as find, but search also for uncapitalized name, i.e. if name is Foo.ml, allow /path/Foo.ml and /path/foo.ml to match.

module Dir: sig .. end
let add: Dir.t => unit;
let get: unit => list(Dir.t);

Same as get_paths (), except that it returns a Dir.t list.
