CAST(2) CAST(2) Name cast - Defines a type cast in the name space converter set. Synopsis #include <ulib.h> void cast(char* k, char* match, char* conv) Description Cast installs a new entry in the converter set of the cur- rent name space to specify that the type k can be converted to the type match by means of the converter conv. After the call, k and match are considered compatible types if conv was nil. Otherwise, the system will start the execution of conv to obtain a temporary box with the data converted to the type match. Cast overwrittes any previous entry for the same k and match.
