bexists
Check which builtins exist
bexists
takes an array of parameters and returns which
commands have been compiled into Murex. The ‘b’ in bexists
stands for ‘builtins’
bexists command... -> <stdout>
» bexists qr gzip runtime config
{
"Installed": [
"runtime",
"config"
],
"Missing": [
"qr",
"gzip"
]
}
This builtin dates back to the start of Murex when all of the
builtins were considered optional. This was intended to be a way for
scripts to determine which builtins were compiled. Since then
runtime
has absorbed and centralized a number of similar
commands which have since been deprecated. The same fate might also
happen to bexists
however it is in use by a few modules and
for that reason alone it has been spared from the axe.
