[REBOL] Re: open? opened? close? closed? for schemes and ports

From: greggirwin:mindspring at: 20-Aug-2002 17:29

Hi Norman, << So when I understand correclty then Rebol does not have a function that displays all the extra words created after boot-up, which is by itself currious because i would expect that Rebol is using a buffer where it keeps its extra added words! objects! etc... >> Only the global context can grow. Other contexts cannot have words added to them, but the global context does allow that. << Yes, as you say, that leaves me searching all the words but then again how do i know what was opened or closed or created befor I entered the console...Or even..when i execute a script from within the console i would love to see a summery of what it all created on words! objects! etc... I cant emagine this does not exist because this way you take out the control ...MMmm... >> Check out QUERY. People have used it to find which words were created by a script. << Right now im trying to discover the meaning of the state: object! when a port is opened, I see some differences in flags and func when a port is closed or opened.. Perhaps a rebol guru could explain me the details of the state object! ? >> I think the details are meant for internal use only as they may change between versions. Here is what Paul Tretter came up with for checking to see if a port is open. open?: func [port][either port/state/flags = 1024 [false][true]]
