Article contents:== Outdated CHICKEN release This is a manual page for an old and unsupported version of CHICKEN. If you are still using it, please consider migrating to the latest version. You can find the manual for the latest release [[/manual|here]]. [[tags: manual]] [[toc:]] == Unit utils This unit contains apropos and functions as a "grab bag" of procedures without a good home, and which don't have to be available by default (as compared to the [[Unit extras|extras]] unit). This unit uses the {{extras}} and {{regex}} units. === Environment Query ==== apropos [procedure] (apropos SYMBOL-PATTERN [ENVIRONMENT] [#:MACROS?]) Displays symbols & type matching {{SYMBOL-PATTERN}} in the {{ENVIRONMENT}} on the {{(current-output-port)}}. ; {{SYMBOL-PATTERN}} : A symbol, string, or regex. When symbol or string substring matching is performed. ; {{ENVIRONMENT}} : An environment. When missing the {{(interaction-environment)}} is assumed. ; {{#:MACROS?}} : Keyword argument. A boolean. Include macro symbols? When missing {{#f}} is assumed. ==== apropos-list [procedure] (apropos-list SYMBOL-PATTERN [ENVIRONMENT] [#:MACROS?]) Like {{apropos}} but returns a list of matching symbols. === Iterating over input lines and files ==== for-each-line [procedure] (for-each-line PROCEDURE [PORT]) Calls {{PROCEDURE}} for each line read from {{PORT}} (which defaults to the value of {{(current-input-port)}}. The argument passed to {{PROCEDURE}} is a string with the contents of the line, excluding any line-terminators. When all input has been read from the port, {{for-each-line}} returns some unspecified value. ==== for-each-argv-line [procedure] (for-each-argv-line PROCEDURE) Opens each file listed on the command line in order, passing one line at a time into {{PROCEDURE}}. The filename {{-}} is interpreted as {{(current-input-port)}}. If no arguments are given on the command line it again uses the value of {{(current-input-port)}}. During execution of {{PROCEDURE}}, the current input port will be correctly bound to the current input source. This code will act as a simple Unix cat(1) command: <enscript highlight=scheme> (for-each-argv-line print) </enscript> === Executing shell commands with formatstring and error checking ==== system* [procedure] (system* FORMATSTRING ARGUMENT1 ...) Similar to {{(system (sprintf FORMATSTRING ARGUMENT1 ...))}}, but signals an error if the invoked program should return a nonzero exit status. === Reading a file's contents ==== read-all [procedure] (read-all [FILE-OR-PORT]) If {{FILE-OR-PORT}} is a string, then this procedure returns the contents of the file as a string. If {{FILE-OR-PORT}} is a port, all remaining input is read and returned as a string. The port is not closed. If no argument is provided, input will be read from the port that is the current value of {{(current-input-port)}}. Previous: [[Unit posix]] Next: [[Unit tcp]] Description of your changes:
