💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to pmexp(1) — from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section — aka plain old pmexp, and its whole personality is show a module's exports. Periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So you hand it a module name, and this program identifies which symbols are automatically exported — those are the ones chillin' in that package's @EXPORT — and which symbols are optionally exported — aka the ones in that package's @EXPORT_OK. It also lists out the import groups, which live in that package's %EXPORT_TAGS hash. Slay, honestly. ✨

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

Like, just look at it go, bestie:

$ pmexp Text::ParseWords
Text::ParseWords automatically exports shellwords, quotewords, nested_quotewords, and parse_line
Text::ParseWords optionally exports old_shellwords

Another one, because we love a demo:

$ pmexp Text::Wrap
Text::Wrap automatically exports wrap and fill
Text::Wrap optionally exports $columns, $break, and $huge

And then Fcntl said “let me do the most” 😭:

$ pmexp Fcntl
Fcntl automatically exports FD_CLOEXEC, F_DUPFD, F_EXLCK, F_GETFD, F_GETFL, F_GETLK, F_GETLK64, F_GETOWN, F_POSIX, F_RDLCK, F_SETFD, F_SETFL, F_SETLK, F_SETLK64, F_SETLKW, F_SETLKW64, F_SETOWN, F_SHLCK, F_UNLCK, F_WRLCK, O_ACCMODE, O_APPEND, O_ASYNC, O_BINARY, O_CREAT, O_DEFER, O_DSYNC, O_EXCL, O_EXLOCK, O_LARGEFILE, O_NDELAY, O_NOCTTY, O_NONBLOCK, O_RDONLY, O_RDWR, O_RSYNC, O_SHLOCK, O_SYNC, O_TEXT, O_TRUNC, and O_WRONLY

Fcntl optionally exports FAPPEND, FASYNC, FCREAT, FDEFER, FEXCL, FNDELAY, FNONBLOCK, FSYNC, FTRUNC, LOCK_EX, LOCK_NB, LOCK_SH, and LOCK_UN
Fcntl export tag 'Fcompat' includes FAPPEND, FASYNC, FCREAT, FDEFER, FEXCL, FNDELAY, FNONBLOCK, FSYNC, and FTRUNC
Fcntl export tag 'flock' includes LOCK_SH, LOCK_EX, LOCK_NB, and LOCK_UN

💀 BUGS 💀

Lowkey, the output formatting should be nicer — perhaps by using format and write. That's the little yikes note, bestie. 😭
