When i look into JSDOC-Toolkit’s source code(run.js) under app folder, the following code confuses me:
readFile: function(/**string*/ path) {
if (!IO.exists(path)) {
throw "File doesn't exist there: "+path;
}
return readFile(path, IO.encoding);
}
include: function(relativePath) {
load(SYS.pwd+relativePath);
}
I searched the whole source folder, but couldn't find the definitions of the method ‘readFile’ and ‘load’. Maybe i missed something, so i turned to the internet for help and found this article.
Finally, i realized that these methods are the Rhino’s shell methods.
load([filename, …])
Load JavaScript source files named by string arguments. If multiple arguments are given, each file is read in and executed in turn.
readFile(path [, characterCoding)
Read given file and convert its bytes to a string using the specified character coding or default character coding if explicit coding argument is not given.
