box (version 1.1.0)

unload: Unload or reload a given module

Description

Given a module which has been previously loaded and is assigned to an alias mod, unload(mod unloads it; reload(mod) unloads and reloads it from its source.

Usage

box::unload(mod)

box::reload(mod)

Arguments

mod

a module object to be unloaded or reloaded

Value

box::unload and box::reload are called for their side effect. They do not return anything.

Details

Unloading a module causes it to be purged from the internal cache such that the next subsequent box::use declaration will reload the module from its source. box::reload unloads and reloads the specified modules and all its transitive module dependencies. box::reload is not merely a shortcut for calling box::unload followed by box::use, because box::unload only unloads the specified module itself, not any dependent modules.
