ScriptX_Util::Dump - Run a ScriptX-based script but only to dump the import arguments
This document describes version 0.004 of ScriptX_Util::Dump (from Perl distribution ScriptX_Util), released on 2020-10-03.
Usage:
dump_scriptx_script(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]
Run a ScriptX-based script but only to dump the import arguments.
This function runs a CLI script that uses ScriptX but monkey-patches beforehand so that import() will dump the import arguments and then exit. The goal is to get the import arguments without actually running the script.
ScriptX
import()
This can be used to gather information about the script and then generate documentation about it or do other things (e.g. App::shcompgen to generate a completion script for the original script).
App::shcompgen
CLI script needs to use ScriptX. This is detected currently by a simple regex. If script is not detected as using ScriptX, status 412 is returned.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
filename* => str
Path to the script.
libs => array[str]
Libraries to unshift to @INC when running script.
skip_detect => bool
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
Return value: (any)
Bool. Will be set to 1 when executing the script to be dumped.
