[erlang-questions] How to autoload a module

[Joe Armstrong]

There is a special module called user_default which was designed to
extend the shell.
Any functions in user_default can be called from the shell without a
module prefix.

-module(user_default).

-export([get_args/0]).

get_args() ->
    io:format("get_args was called~n").

Compile this and make sure it is your path.

> erlc user_default.erl
 joe$ erl
Erlang R14A (erts-5.8) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.8  (abort with ^G)
1> get_args().
get_args was called
ok
