NAME

list_namespaces - Get the current list of user defined namespaces

SYNOPSIS

nstbl
list_namespaces()

DESCRIPTION

The user can dynamically add and remove namespaces for the purpose of file i/o and local IPC . These are controlled externally and defined in the database that the arcan application was launched with. An example of this would be "arcan_db add_appl_kv arcan ns_home Home:rw:/home/me" This function returns a list of the currently known ones in an n-indexed table of tables, where each table specifies its reference name, a user presentable label and the set or permissions (e.g. read, write and ipc). The name can then be used as a reference prefix for other operations, e.g. load_image("myname:/test.img").

EXAMPLE

function list_namespaces0()


      for _, space in ipairs(list_namespaces()) do


            print(space.name, " => ", space.label, space.read, space.write, space.ipc)


      end
end
