[julia-users] Finding all the arguments of a function

['Antoine Messager' via julia-users]

Hi all,

I forgot for the n-th time how to prevent a sampling from having two times 
the same value. While I wrote the previous sentence I remembered, but it is 
not my issue. I was wondering whether there is an option that would give 
all the arguments that can be used in a already implemented function. This 
could be useful as many documentations are not complete. I find *methods *not 
very informative. Nowhere I can now that what I needed was: 
*"replace=false"*
 

7 methods for generic function *sample*:
