6.4 mischief/keyword: Keywords

 (require mischief/keyword) package: mischief-dev

This module re-exports keyword<? from racket/base.

procedure

(keyword=? x y)  boolean?

  x : keyword?
  y : keyword?

procedure

(keyword>? x y)  boolean?

  x : keyword?
  y : keyword?

procedure

(keyword<=? x y)  boolean?

  x : keyword?
  y : keyword?

procedure

(keyword>=? x y)  boolean?

  x : keyword?
  y : keyword?
Compare two keywords lexicographically, essentially composing keyword->string with string=?, string>?, string<=?, and string>=?.

Examples:
> (keyword=? '#:bat '#:cat)

#f

> (keyword=? '#:cat '#:cat)

#t

> (keyword=? '#:cat '#:bat)

#f

> (keyword>? '#:bat '#:cat)

#f

> (keyword>? '#:cat '#:cat)

#f

> (keyword>? '#:cat '#:bat)

#t

> (keyword<=? '#:bat '#:cat)

#t

> (keyword<=? '#:cat '#:cat)

#t

> (keyword<=? '#:cat '#:bat)

#f

> (keyword>=? '#:bat '#:cat)

#f

> (keyword>=? '#:cat '#:cat)

#t

> (keyword>=? '#:cat '#:bat)

#t

procedure

(keyword-upcase sym)  keyword?

  sym : keyword?

procedure

(keyword-downcase sym)  keyword?

  sym : keyword?

procedure

(keyword-titlecase sym)  keyword?

  sym : keyword?

procedure

(keyword-foldcase sym)  keyword?

  sym : keyword?
Convert the case of a keyword’s name, by analogy with string-upcase, string-downcase, string-titlecase, and string-foldcase.

Examples:
> (keyword-upcase '#:Two-words)

'#:TWO-WORDS

> (keyword-downcase '#:Two-words)

'#:two-words

> (keyword-titlecase '#:Two-words)

'#:Two-Words

> (keyword-foldcase '#:Two-words)

'#:two-words

procedure

(keyword->symbol key)  symbol?

  key : keyword?

procedure

(symbol->keyword sym)  keyword?

  sym : symbol?
Convert between symbols and keywords.

Examples:
> (keyword->symbol '#:something)

'something

> (symbol->keyword 'anything)

'#:anything

procedure

(format-keyword fmt arg ...)  keyword?

  fmt : string?
  arg : (or/c symbol? string? identifier? keyword? char? number?)
Produces a keyword whose name is (format fmt arg ...). Like format-symbol, the format string must use only ~a placeholders, and identifiers in the args are automatically converted to symbols.

Example:
> (format-keyword "is-~a?" #'list)

'#:is-list?
