;;; Commentary:

;; Usage: display-commentary REF1 REF2 ...
;;
;; Display Commentary section from REF1, REF2 and so on.
;; Each REF may be a filename or module name (list of symbols).
;; In the latter case, a filename is computed by searching `%load-path'.

;;; Code:

(define-module (scripts display-commentary)
  :use-module (ice-9 documentation)
  :export (display-commentary))

(define %summary "Display the Commentary section from a file or module.")

(define (display-commentary-one file)
  (format #t "~A commentary:\n~A" file (file-commentary file)))

(define (module-name->filename-frag ls) ; todo: export or move
  (let ((ls (map symbol->string ls)))
    (let loop ((ls (cdr ls)) (acc (car ls)))
      (if (null? ls)
          acc
          (loop (cdr ls) (string-append acc "/" (car ls)))))))

  (cond ((%search-load-path (module-name->filename-frag module-name))
         => (lambda (file)
              (format #t "module ~A\n" module-name)
              (display-commentary-one file)))))
