list_namespaces(3)

💅 NAME 💅

list_namespaces — get the current list of user defined namespaces, bestie ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nstbl
list_namespaces()

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: the user can dynamically add and remove namespaces for the purpose of file i/o and local IPC. These are controlled externally and defined in the database that the arcan application was launched with. A whole example of that vibe is:

arcan_db add_appl_kv arcan ns_home Home:rw:/home/me

This function returns a list of the currently known ones in an n-indexed table of tables, where each table specifies its reference name, a user presentable label, and the set of permissions (e.g. read, write and ipc). The name can then be used as a reference prefix for other operations, e.g. load_image("myname:/test.img").

like, iconic. 👑

function list_namespaces0()
      for _, space in ipairs(list_namespaces()) do

      end
end
