Examples

Yorick's poor man documentation is very practical but during an interactive session, you may not remember the exact spelling of a function (in order to get its documentation). No problem with Yeti, just type: about,REGEXP where REGEXP is a regular expression to get a list of all (currently) defined functions that match REGEXP, then just type the number and return to get the documentation or just return to give up. For instance:

  > include, "yeti.i";
  > about, "read";
    1 - _read                   4 - read_n
    2 - read                    5 - rgb_read
    3 - read_clog               6 - sread
