Function

Structure

Type

Syntax

touchSource unit-name -> ()

Arguments

unit-name
A string naming a program unit. Must be given in the portable unit-location notation (see Section 4.3.2.1 on page 69).

unit

Description

Forces MLWorks to consider the source version of unit-name to be out of date, so that the next time a load-from-source operation involving it occurs, MLWorks reloads it and every unit that depends on it.

The time-stamp of the source file for unit-name is changed in order to do this.
