NAME

exact::me - Original program path locations extension for exact

VERSION

version 1.05

SYNOPSIS

    use exact -me;

    say me();              # full path to $0
    say me('../dir/file'); # full path based on relative dir from $0 dir
    say me('dir/file');    # full path found from $0 dir or in a parent of it

DESCRIPTION

exact::me is an extension for exact that imports a me() function into the calling namespace.

    use exact -me;

IMPORTED FUNCTION

The following function is imported:

me

This function when called without any input will return the path to the current program ($0):

    say me(); # full path to $0

When provided with a relative path, it will generate a full path by combining the input with a full path to the current program ($0):

    say me('../dir/file'); # full path based on relative dir from $0 dir

For input that is a relative path that does not begin with ".", a relative path will be searched for at or above the directory of the program ($0). If found, that path will be returned; otherwise, undef.

    say me('dir/file'); # full path found from $0 dir or in a parent of it

See the exact documentation for additional information about extensions. The intended use of exact::me is via the extension interface of exact.

    use exact -me, -conf, -noutf8;

However, you can also use it directly, which will also use exact with default options:

    use exact::me;
