autosplit

autosplit (file, dir, keep, check, modtime)

• Splits the module into files. Each file is given the name of the subroutine it contains, with .al appended. autosplit also creates the file autosplit.ix, which serves as both a forward declaration of all package routines and as a timestamp showing when the hierarchy was last updated. Takes the following arguments:
  • file
  • Filename of program or module to be split.
  • dir
  • Name of directory hierarchy in which to store the split files.
  • keep
  • If false, pre-existing .al files in the auto directory that are no longer part of the module are deleted.
  • check
  • If true, checks to be sure the module being split includes a use AutoLoader statement. If the statement is missing, autosplit doesn't process the module.
  • modtime
  • If true, only splits the module if it is newer than autosplit.ix.
