The load_path
Poke variable contains a list of directories
separated by the colon character (:
). When a module is loaded
using the load
construction, these directories are searched in
sequential order for the file corresponding to the requested module.
Empty directory names and entries that do not name existing directories are ignored.
Some entries have special meanings:
%DATADIR%
This is interpreted as the system-wide datadir directory, that depends on the prefix where poke is installed.
For example, say you want to maintain .pk files in your
~/.poke.d directory. You will probably want to add that
directory to the load_path
, when poke initializes. A way to do
that is to add a command like this to your pokerc file:
load_path = getenv ("HOME") + "/.poke.d:" + load_path
If the environment variable POKE_LOAD_PATH
is defined in the
environment, its value is added to load_path
at poke startup
time.
