lfe_lib(3)

🦋 NAME 🦋

Okay bestie, welcome to lfe_lib(3) — the manual page for lfe_lib, aka the Lisp Flavoured Erlang (LFE) library module. This is literally the page for it, and it’s giving “behind-the-scenes infrastructure” energy. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

So lfe_lib is a collection of library functions for implementing LFE. Plot twist: they are generally not called by the user. Like, this is internal bestie territory — not your everyday call-it-yourself situation. 🫶

💅 EXPORTS 💅

🌸 new_env() -> Env. 🌸

Creates a new environment for the evaluator. Fresh env, no cap. ✨

🎀 add_env(Env1, Env2) -> Env. 🎀

Adds environment Env1 to Env2 such that Env1 shadows Env2. The way Env1 just slides in and takes over the visibility? Iconic. 💅

🦋 is_erl_bif(Name, Arity) -> bool(). 🦋

🦋 is_guard_bif(Name, Arity) -> bool(). 🦋

These test whether a Name/Arity is a BIF or guard BIF. And yes, this works for functions and operators too. Slay. 🔥

⭐ is_core_form(Name) -> bool(). ⭐

Tests whether Name is one of the LFE core forms. Core form vibe check: passed or not. 👑
