Hi Ian,
I am trying to dump out all function signatures exported from
System.Directory. I just tried
inside ghci: :! ghc --show-iface System.Directory. This is getting
closer ... thank you! However, now there appears to be a "path"
problem because I get an error message: " System.Directory:
openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)". ??
Just for reference: --show-iface is intended to operate on an
explicitly specified .hi file, not a module name. You could locate
System\Directory.hi in the ghc lib directory and run ghc --show-iface
on that, or just use :browse.
Also, --show-iface dumps low-level compiler data. In particular, it
doesn't necessarily show you exactly what the module exports - but
rather, it shows you when GHC might inline into client modules. ;-) If
you want the callable interface, you want to be using the :browse
command, not playing with interface files.
