[erlang-questions] old module

[Joe Armstrong]

  erlang:check_old_code(Module) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 Module = atom()

              Returns true if the Module has old code, and false otherwise.

(How did I find this? -
   > cd <src>/lib/kernel/src
   > grep purge *.erl

  I found it around line 1401 of code_server.erl

  (it's also in the erlang manual page :-)

)
