The NameSignature is the complete information about a function (or method) within a LopLanguage (e.g. ThelopLanguage). It contains:
- name (e.g. FileCpy)
- parameters (e.g. 2 strings; target file name, source file name)
- return value (e.g. error status)
- meaning (e.g. copies the source file to the target file)
There may be
- examples
- comments
LOP says that it should be possible to derive the NameSignature of a function by combining the WordSignatures of the words from which the function name is built.
THELOP tries to implement this by
- defining words, see: ThelopDictionary, ThelopWordExamples
- defining rules, see: ThelopRules
