This module defines Erlang BIFs, guard tests and operators. This module is only of interest to programmers who manipulate Erlang code.

 bif(Name, Arity) -> bool() Test for an Erlang BIF Name = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if Name/Arity is an Erlang BIF which is automatically recognized by the compiler, otherwise false.

 guard_bif(Name, Arity) -> bool() Test for an Erlang BIF allowed in guards Name = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if Name/Arity is an Erlang BIF which is allowed in guards, otherwise false.

 type_test(Name, Arity) -> bool() Test for a valid type test Name = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if Name/Arity is a valid Erlang type test, otherwise false.

 arith_op(OpName, Arity) -> bool() Test for an arithmetic operator OpName = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if OpName/Arity is an arithmetic operator, otherwise false.

 bool_op(OpName, Arity) -> bool() Test for a Boolean operator OpName = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if OpName/Arity is a Boolean operator, otherwise false.

 comp_op(OpName, Arity) -> bool() Test for a comparison operator OpName = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if OpName/Arity is a comparison operator, otherwise false.

 list_op(OpName, Arity) -> bool() Test for a list operator OpName = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if OpName/Arity is a list operator, otherwise false.

 send_op(OpName, Arity) -> bool() Test for a send operator OpName = atom() Arity = integer()

Returns true if OpName/Arity is a send operator, otherwise false.

 op_type(OpName, Arity) -> Type Return operator type OpName = atom() Arity = integer() Type = arith | bool | comp | list | send

Returns the Type of operator that OpName/Arity belongs to, or generates a function_clause error if it is not an operator at all.
