Link.Expunge

]LINK.Expunge <item>

{available} ←  ⎕SE.Link.Expunge items

This function is intended as a replacement for the system function ⎕EX in tools that manage code. It removes an item from the workspace and also deletes the corresponding source file.

If you manually )ERASE items, you can subsequently call Expunge to remove the source file.

Arguments

  • APL item name(s)

Result

  • Simple Boolean vector with one element per name in the right argument.

The value of an element of the result is 1 if the corresponding name is now available for use. This does not necessarily mean that the existing value was erased for that name. A value of 0 is returned for an ill-formed name or for a distinguished name in the argument.
