Util

The util module is a JavaScript module containing various utility functions. This is intended to be compatible with the util module in Node.js. Because this is a built-in module for accessors that subclass JSAccessor, there is no need to specify a requires tag in the interface specification. A simple use of the module in an accessor might look like this:

  exports.fire = function() {
    var value = get(input);
    util.log('Received an input.');
  }

The functions provided in this module are:

• util.format(format, [...]): FIXME
• util.debug(string): FIXME
• util.error([...]): FIXME
• util.puts([...]): FIXME
• util.print([...]): FIXME
• util.log(string): Output a message with timestamp on stdout or some other suitable output.
• util.inspect(object, [options]): FIXME
• util.isArray(object): FIXME
• util.isRegExp(object): FIXME
• util.isDate(object): FIXME
• util.isError(object): FIXME
• util.pump(readableStream, writableStream, [callback]): FIXME
• util.inherits(constructor, superConstructor): FIXME
