list_functions

sherpa.astro.ui.list_functions(outfile=None, clobber=False) → None

Display the functions provided by Sherpa.

Unlike the other list_xxx commands, this does not return an array. Instead it acts like the show_xxx family of commands.

Parameters:

outfilestr, optional

If not given the results are displayed to the screen, otherwise it is taken to be the name of the file to write the results to.

clobberbool, optional

If outfile is not None, then this flag controls whether an existing file can be overwritten (True) or if it raises an exception (False, the default setting).

Raises:

sherpa.utils.err.IOErr

If outfile already exists and clobber is False.
