smartCopySources

:: Int | verbose
-> [FilePath] | build prefix (location of objects)
-> FilePath | Target directory
-> [String] | Modules
-> [String] | search suffixes
-> Bool | Exit if no such modules
-> Bool | Preserve directory structure
-> IO () |
Copy the source files into the right directory. Looks in the build prefix for files that look like the input modules, based on the input search suffixes. It copies the files into the target directory.

copyFileVerbose :: Int -> FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()
moduleToFilePath

:: [FilePath] | search locations
-> String | Module Name
-> [String] | possible suffixes
-> IO [FilePath] |
Get the file path for this particular module. In the IO monad because it looks for the actual file. Might eventually interface with preprocessor libraries in order to correctly locate more filenames. Returns empty list if no such files exist.

mkLibName

:: FilePath | file Prefix
-> String | library name.
-> String |

mkProfLibName

:: FilePath | file Prefix
-> String | library name.
-> String |

mkGHCiLibName

:: FilePath | file Prefix
-> String | library name.
-> String |

currentDir :: FilePath
The path name that represents the current directory. May be system-specific. In Unix, it's `"."`.
dotToSep :: String -> String
withTempFile :: FilePath -> String -> (FilePath -> IO a) -> IO a
findFile

:: [FilePath] | search locations
-> FilePath | File Name
-> IO FilePath |

defaultPackageDesc :: IO FilePath
Package description file (pkgname`.cabal`)
findPackageDesc

:: FilePath | Where to look
-> IO FilePath |
Find a package description file in the given directory. Looks for `.cabal` files.

defaultHookedPackageDesc :: IO (Maybe FilePath)
Optional auxiliary package information file (pkgname`.buildinfo`)
findHookedPackageDesc

:: FilePath | Directory to search
-> IO (Maybe FilePath) | dir`/`pkgname`.buildinfo`, if present
Find auxiliary package information in the given directory. Looks for `.buildinfo` files.
