Lick Scry Reference

Here are Lick's scry endpoints. There's only a few and they're mostly just useful for debugging. All of Lick's scries are specified by a $care. The $desk field in the $beak must be empty (%$, e.g. /=//=).

The only novel data type is a $name, which is just a $path representing the name of a socket.

%a - Read ports

A scry with a $care of %a will return a list of all registered IPC ports.

.^((list name:lick) %la /=//=/ports)
~[/hood/reciept/control /slick/control]

---

%d - Port owner

A scry with a $care of %d and the socket $name in the $spur will return the $duct of the IPC port owner in a +unit, which is null if the socket doesn't exist.

.^((unit duct) %ld /=//=/[port-name])
[~ [i=/gall/use/slick/0w3.IZWEn/~nec t=[i=/dill t=~[//term/1]]]]

---

%u - Port existance

A scry with a $care of %u and the socket +name in the $spur will return a ? which is %.y if the socket exists in Lick's state.

.^(? %lu /=//=/slick/control)
%.y
