Yorick Function Reference

Including Source Files

#include "filename.i"    insert contents of filename

This is a parser directive, NOT an executable statement. Yorick also provides two forms of executable include statements:

include, "filename.i"    parse contents of filename.i
require, "filename.i"    parse filename.i if not yet parsed

The effect of the include function is not quite immediate, since any tasks (*main* programs) generated cannot execute until the task which called include finishes.

The require function should be placed at the top of a file which represents a package of Yorick routines that depends on functions or variables defined in another package filename.i.

The filename.i ends with a .i suffix by convention.
