Export

Export
can export objects and classes to a directory. Get[directory] loads the automatically created "init.m" file that reads in all necessary definitions without the need of loading the class package.
Export[directory, object]
exports object and all related objects into a file "object.m" written to directory.
Export[directory, class]
exports class into a file "class.m" written to directory. The file contains all definitions directly related to class such as parent class definitions and automatically created definitions.
  • With the option Take → Object, no related objects are saved.
  • If the objects to be saved are derived from an anonymous class, an option Class → dir can specify where these classes are saved.
  • For classes that have attributes ReadProtected and Locked the read protected definitions are saved by DumpSave to "class.mx". The directory also contains a runtime version of this package.
  • The builtin behavior of Export is not affected.
