Std.App.Config.truth

1 declaration

fn

truth: &Std.App.Config.Config -> Str -> Result[Bool, Std.App.Config.ConfigError]

This is a callable function.

What it does

A setting as a truth.

The spellings accepted are the ones a configuration file is actually

written with. A value outside them is refused rather than read as false,

because a setting spelled `yes` that silently means no is worse than one

that stops the program.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
