box::export

can be used as an alternative to the @export
tag comment to declare a
module’s exports.
box::export(...)
box::export
has no return value. It is called for its
side effect.
zero or more unquoted names that should be exported from the module.
box::export
can be called inside a module to specify the module’s
exports. If a module contains a call to box::export
, this call
overrides any declarations made via the @export
tag comment. When a
module contains multiple calls to box::export
, the union of all thus
defined names is exported.
A module can also contain an argument-less call to box::export
. This
ensures that the module does not export any names. Otherwise, a module that
defines names but does not mark them as exported would be treated as a
legacy module, and all default-visible names would be exported from
it. Default-visible names are names not starting with a dot (.
).
Another use of box::export()
is to enable a module without exports to
use module event hooks.
