Link.Fix

This function is intended as a replacement for ⎕FIX or ⎕FX in code which manipulates linked namespaces. It will allow you to add or modify a function, operator, or scripted object within a linked namespace, creating or updating the correponding source file.

Note: If the item has already been updated or created and you only need to update the source file, you can also use Add.

When an item is edited, a call is made to this function by the APL interpreter.

Right Argument: source

• A vector of character vectors representing the source code of the item to be defined

Left Argument: namespace name [oldname]

The left argument is a two or three element vector:

• namespace: The namespace within which the object shall be fixed. Normally, one can use ⎕FIX or ⎕FX inside the target namespace, e.g. myns.⎕FIX 'avg←{sum←+⌿⍵' 'sum÷≢⍵}' but since Link.Fix exists only as ⎕SE.Link.Fix then the target namespace must be explicitly specified.
• name: The name of the object being defined
• oldname: The old name of the object, if this operation is a rename

Result

• 1 if the object was found to be in a linked namespace, else 0
