Title
Body
A common convention in python is to structure the main functionality of a script as follows, so it can be both run as a script directly or imported without executing main() at the time of import: def main(): do_stuff() if __name__ == '__main__': main() Is there a similar variable that gets set in Julia, so that the script can be aware of whether it was imported using require("script.jl" ) or executed directly? For example, say I have two scripts, a.jl and b.jl , along with a magic_function() that behaves as follows: a.jl : println("Did we execute a.jl directly? ", magic_function()) b.jl : require("a.jl") Executing the following commands results in ... > julia a.jl Did we execute a.jl directly? true > julia b.jl Did we execute a.jl directly? false Does a function like magic_function() exist in the current distribution of Julia?
