func:spec

spec(qname, checked: true)

Load or lookup a Xeto spec by its string or ref qname. Return the dict representation. If not found raise exception or return null based on checked flag.

NOTE: returns the same Spec instance as returned by LibNamespace. The spec meta is modeled using full fidelity and not haystack fidelity. Use specMeta() to normalize to haystack fidelity for use inside Axon.

Examples:

spec("ph::Meter")         // type string
spec(@ph::Meter)          // type id
spec("sys::Spec.of")      // slot
spec("foo::Bad")          // raises exception if not found
spec("foo::Bad", false)   // unchecked returns null
