6: Response to ad_proc documentation (response to 1)
Posted by Michael A. Cleverly on 09/04/02 06:47 AM
There are hidden secrets within ad_proc that afaik have never been documented anywhere other than the source code (viewable via /api-doc/). Like,
ad_proc foobar {-foo:boolean} { ... }
can be invoked as: foobar -foo=$some_boolean_value

I have custom ACS 4.2 code that's littered in places with: 

    if {$flush_p} {
        some_proc -flush $key
    } else {
        some_proc $key
    }
Much cleaner to know you can say: some_proc -flush=$flush_p $key
