rcFileContents :: IO [(String,String)]   

Returns the current configuration parameters of the distribution. This action yields the list of pairs (var,val).

Look up configuration variables as specified by user in his rc file. Uppercase/lowercase is ignored for the variable names.

splitModuleFileName :: String -> String -> (String,String)   

Split the FilePath of a module into the directory prefix and the FilePath corresponding to the module name. For instance, the call splitModuleFileName "Data.Set" "lib/Data/Set.curry" evaluates to ("lib", "Data/Set.curry"). This can be useful to compute output directories while retaining the hierarchical module structure.

Split up the components of a module identifier. For instance, splitModuleIdentifiers "Data.Set" evaluates to ["Data", "Set"].

joinModuleIdentifiers :: [String] -> String   

Join the components of a module identifier. For instance, joinModuleIdentifiers ["Data", "Set"] evaluates to "Data.Set".

Example call:
(callFrontendWithParams target params modpath)
