;;; loadhist.el --- lisp functions for working with feature groups

;; Author: Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>
;; Version: 1.0
;; Keywords: internal

;;; Commentary:

;; These functions exploit the load-history system variable.
;; Entry points include `unload-feature', `symbol-file', and `feature-file'.

;;; Code:

(defun symbol-file (sym)
  "Return the input source from which SYM was loaded.
This is a file name, or nil if the source was a buffer with no associated file."
  (catch 'foundit
    (mapcar
     (function (lambda (x) (if (memq sym (cdr x)) (throw 'foundit (car x)))))
     load-history)

(defun feature-symbols (feature)
  "Return the file and list of symbols associated with a given FEATURE."
   (catch 'foundit

		  (if (member (cons 'provide feature) (cdr x))
		      (throw 'foundit x))))
      load-history)
     nil))

(defun feature-file (feature)
  "Return the file name from which a given FEATURE was loaded.
Actually, return the load argument, if any; this is sometimes the name of a
Lisp file without an extension.  If the feature came from an eval-buffer on
a buffer with no associated file, or an eval-region, return nil."

is nil, raise an error."
