restore session

Contents: Description, Arguments, Usage, Examples, Sub-Functions, Related Functions, Source Supported Under Version: > 1.08 Current .dvrc Version: 1.09 Description Although we of the Davinci development team try our hardest to avoid mistakes that lead to segmentation faults, core dumps and all things that dropkick users out of a session of Davinci and onto the command prompt, we haven't caught them all. This function, inefficient and clunky as it may be, provides some relief to the user community. When the user finds himself unceremoniously dumped, he need only open up Davinci again, type restore_session() and davinci will (except in cases of gui instructions) work it's way back to where the user was one command before explosion. New in 1.08. Now tries the user's home directory "~/.dvlog" first, then the current directory ".dvlog", then a directory specified by the user by the "path" argument. Arguments and Return Values Arguments: none Return Value: Hopefully everything that the user had in memory before catastrophe struck. Usage Syntax: restore_session([path=STRING][,verbose=BOOL]) Examples Segmentation Fault [user@computer]$ davinci dv> restore_session() (wait some reasonable amount of time)
