Constant INDEX_FROM_BEG
Constant INDEX_FROM_END
Constant OPEN_BOUND

constant Pike.INDEX_FROM_BEG
constant Pike.INDEX_FROM_END
constant Pike.OPEN_BOUND

Description

Used with `[..] and lfun::`[..] to specify how the corresponding index maps to an upper or lower range bound:

INDEX_FROM_BEG

The index is relative to the beginning of the string or array (or any other sequence implemented through an object). Sequences typically start at zero.

INDEX_FROM_END

The index is relative to the end of the sequence. In strings and arrays, the last element is at zero, the one before that at one, etc.

OPEN_BOUND

The range is open in the corresponding direction. The index is irrelevant in this case.

Description

This is the most suitable backend implementation if you only want to monitor a small number of Stdio.File objects.
