💖 MODULES(1p) 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to MODULES(1p) — that's the manual page name, and yeah it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it's literally your one-stop map of all the PDL module docs. 🗺️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

PDL::Modules — a whole guide to PDL's module reference, no cap. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the tea: this page is basically a table of contents for PDL's module documentation. 📚

But — and this is important — it does not list every single PDL module. Nope. It only shows the ones meant for PDL users, and it skips the ones that got deemed "for internal use only". 🙈 If you want the full comprehensive list of all the documentation, go check out the PDL::Index page instead. 💅

🔍 LOOKING FOR A FUNCTION? 🔍

If you're hunting for a function name, bestie, the move is to use the PDL shell with the help or apropos command (apropos does a fuzzy search, which is iconic). For example:

pdl> apropos xval
xlinvals        X axis values between endpoints (see xvals).
xlogvals        X axis values logarithmicly spaced...
xvals           Fills an ndarray with X index values...
yvals           Fills an ndarray with Y index values. See the CAVEAT for xvals.
zvals           Fills an ndarray with Z index values. See the CAVEAT for xvals.

And if you wanna learn more about the PDL shell itself, go look at perldl or pdl2. 🐚💜

🏛️ FOUNDATION 🏛️
