clojure.repl.dir

A better version of clojure.repl/dir

Usage

> (require 'clojure.repl.dir)
Replacing clojure.repl/dir
> (use 'clojure.repl)

The dir macro is replaced. You can use it plain to examine the current namespace.

> (def x)
> (dir)
x : no doc

You can give it a second argument to determine what kind of namespace entries you want to see. One of ns-(publics|refers|map|interns|imports).

> (dir *ns* ns-refers) ;; lists imports
;; a reaaaly long list

Of course it takes just a namespace too. Notice, that it displays call lists and macros.

> (dir clojure.repl.dir)
*arglist-printlen* : How much of arglists is displayed
*multiline-token*  : Marker when doc has multiple lines
*terminal-width*   : Screen width in characters, that dir fills
*truncated-token*  : Marker when first doc line was truncated

When trying to examine a namespace, that isn't loaded, it tries to require it.
