Guides for Developing KCL

Here's what you can do in the KCL script:

• Read resources from option("resource_list"). The option("resource_list") complies with the KRM Functions Specification. You can read the input resources from option("items") and the functionConfig from option("functionConfig").
• Return a KRM list for output resources.
• Return an error using assert {condition}, {error_message}.
• Read the PATH variables. e.g. option("PATH").
• Read the environment variables. e.g. option("env").
