Muq Path Commands

Here we list together a few of the commands most commonly useful when manipulating the Muq path hierarchy. They correspond loosely to Unix shell commands such as ls mkdir rm and so forth.

• Creating a new object in the hierarchy, in the spirit of unix 'mkdir', in this case a '.myApp' under '.etc':

  root:
  makeIndex --> .etc.myApp
  root: 
  

• Storing arbitrary new public values on an object in the hierarchy, in the spirit of creating files in the unix hierarchy:

  root:
  t --> .etc.myApp.allowFoozling
  root: 
  nil --> .etc.myApp.allowMarfling
  root: 
  

• Listing the public values on such an object:

  root: 
  .etc.myApp ls
  :allowMarfling  nil
  :allowFoozling  t
  root: 
  

• Storing hidden (private to root) new public values on an object in the hierarchy, in the spirit of creating files "rw-------" files in the unix hierarchy:

  root:
  t --> .etc.myApp$hidden.dominateWorld
  root: 
  nil --> .etc.myApp$hidden.useDos
  root:
  

• Listing the hidden values on such an object:

  root: 
  .etc.myApp lsh
  :useDos nil
  :dominateWorld  t
  root:
  

• Listing the system values on such an object:

  root: 
  .etc.myApp lss
  :dbname "ROOTDB"
  :isA    #<MosClass Object 209fa15>
  :myclass        "obj"
  :owner  #<Root root 2c015>
  :name   "_"
  root: 
  

• Set a system value on such an object:

  root: 
  ".etc.myApp" --> .etc.myApp$system.name
  root: 
  .etc.myApp lss
  :dbname "ROOTDB"
  :isA    #<MosClass Object 209fa15>
  :myclass        "obj"
  :owner  #<Root root 2c015>
  :name   ".etc.myApp"
  root: 
  

• Add and list some admins values on such an object:

  root: 
  t --> .etc.myApp$admins.thisIsJunk
  root: 
  nil --> .etc.myApp$admins.saveThis
  root: 
  .etc.myApp lsa
  :saveThis       nil
  :thisIsJunk     t
  root: 
  

• Remove admins properties, similar to unix "rm":

  root: 
  .etc.myApp lsa
  :saveThis       nil
  :thisIsJunk     t
  root: 
  delete: .etc.myApp$admins.thisIsJunk
  root: 
  .etc.myApp lsa
  :saveThis       nil
  root: 
  

• Remove a public property:

  root: 
  .etc.myApp ls
  :allowMarfling  nil
  :allowFoozling  t
  root: 
  delete: .etc.myApp.allowMarfling
  root: 
  .etc.myApp ls
  :allowFoozling  t
  root: 
  

• Remove a hidden property:

  root: 
  .etc.myApp lsh
  :useDos nil
  :dominateWorld  t
  root: 
  delete: .etc.myApp$hidden.useDos
  root: 
  .etc.myApp lsh
  :dominateWorld  t
  root: 
  

• Removing an object. In unix, removing a directory is different from removing a file, but in MUF they are just the same:

  root: 
  .etc ls
  :rc2D   #<Object .etc.rc2D b9e015>
  :server-signature       2984392281243
  :bad    #<thunk BAD>
  :jb0    #<Job jb0 33115>
  :doz    #<JobQueue doz 17ea1e15>
  :usr    #<UserQueue usr 2929ed15>
  :rc2    'muf:rc2
  :myApp  #<Object .etc.myApp 4d1dd15>
  root: 
  delete: .etc.myApp
  root: 
  .etc ls
  :rc2D   #<Object .etc.rc2D b9e015>
  :server-signature       2984392281243
  :bad    #<thunk BAD>
  :jb0    #<Job jb0 33115>
  :doz    #<JobQueue doz 17ea1e15>
  :usr    #<UserQueue usr 2929ed15>
  :rc2    'muf:rc2
  root:
