NAME

Fry::ShellI - Extended Fry::Shell interface to be used by libraries and plugins as needed.

DESCRIPTION

The public methods of this class are mainly used in library classes. Since this module inherits from Fry::Base, some of its methods are also encouraged to be used in libraries. These methods are dumper,view,Var,setVar and listCore as well as the Plugin-related methods. See their documentation in Fry::Base.

A word about using methods from a core class, don't rely too heavily on them since core classes and their methods may change. Also, don't use core class accessors directly in a library.

        $cls->lib->initLibs($lib) 

Instead, you should use &call

        $cls->call(lib=>'initLibs',$lib);

PUBLIC METHODS

        call($core_class,$method): Calls a core class's method to call the library class's &unloadLib:

                call(lib=>'unloadLib',@args);

        List($core_class): Returns list of object ids for given core class. Wrapper around a core class's &listIds.
        listAll($core_class): Returns list of object ids and their aliases for core class. Wrapper around a core class's &listAliasAndIds.
        saveArray(@value): Sets the lines variable to the given array. Used with the menu option.
        varMany(@var): Gets several variable values.
        requireLibraries(@libs): Loads libraries if they're not loaded.

        Note: Valid core classes are the core class accessors in Fry::Base.
