Morphine - Reference Manual

Morphine - Reference Manual  

The following sections make the reference manual. It has been generated (mostly) automatically by Morphine. The advantages are manifold. It is a complete picture of the state of Morphine at the time it has been generated. The syntax is accurate as arguments and types are deduced from the actual implementation of objects. Last but not least, you can generate an up-to-date version at any time using command manual/1. Yet, it, too often, lacks examples, and currently the items are not listed in alphabetical order. The index at the end of the manual should help palliate the latter problem.

In the reference manual messages are listed in the same way as in the on-line manual. For example, the message for the manual command is:

manual(File) 
Command which shows all the scenarios, their commands and the corresponding explanations in the file ``File'' (in LaTeX format). It also does some fixes in the LaTeX file. The LaTeX file will then be called ``File.tex'' afterwards. In order to get a printable ``File.dvi'', use command latex_manual/1.

File : atom
type of command : opium
scenario : help (global in Morphine)

Beside the actual help message this says that command manual is called with a single parameter, File, which has to be of type atom. The type of the command is ``opium''. Commands can also be of type ``trace'' which means that they print a trace line.
