In Elixir, is there any way to get a module to list its functions?

Each module in Elixir defines an __info__ function you can call to get information about that module.

According the Elixir Docs, 1.6.6 e.g., you can pass it :functions to get a list of functions that module contains.

Map.__info__(:functions)

[delete: 2, drop: 2, equal?: 2, fetch: 2, fetch!: 2, from_struct: 1, get: 2,
 get: 3, has_key?: 2, keys: 1, merge: 2, merge: 3, new: 0, pop: 2, pop: 3,
 put: 3, put_new: 3, size: 1, split: 2, take: 2, to_list: 1, update: 4,
 update!: 3, values: 1]

Since Elixir is also Erlang, there is an Erlang way to do this as well.

Every Elixir and Erlang module has the function module_info defined at compile time. There are two arities of this function. For example:

iex(1)> Atom.module_info
 [module: Atom,
 exports: [__info__: 1, to_string: 1, to_char_list: 1, module_info: 0,
 module_info: 1], attributes: [vsn:       [66271031909514292894123295368320335064]],
 compile: [options: [:debug_info], version: '6.0.1',
 time: {2015, 9, 29, 2, 34, 37},
 source: '/private/tmp/elixir20150928-10892-fvin6a/elixir-1.1.1/lib/elixir/lib/atom.ex'],
 native: false,
 md5: <<49, 219, 86, 35, 141, 153, 70, 174, 245, 100, 68, 5, 62, 231, 60, 216>>]

You can specify a specific attribute to return.

 iex(2)> Atom.module_info(:exports)
  [__info__: 1, to_string: 1, to_char_list: 1, module_info: 0, module_info: 1]

Erlang function verison:

iex(3)> :crypto.module_info(:exports)
 [version: 0, stop: 0, supports: 0, info_lib: 0, hash: 2, hash_init: 1,
 hash_update: 2, hash_final: 1, hmac: 3, hmac: 4, hmac_init: 2, hmac_update: 2,
 hmac_final: 1, hmac_final_n: 2, block_encrypt: 4, block_encrypt: 3,
 block_decrypt: 3, next_iv: 2, next_iv: 3, stream_init: 3, stream_init: 2,
 stream_encrypt: 2, stream_decrypt: 2, rand_bytes: 1, strong_rand_bytes: 1,
 rand_bytes: 3, rand_uniform: 2, rand_seed: 1, mod_pow: 3, verify: 5, sign: 4,
 public_encrypt: 4, private_decrypt: 4, private_encrypt: 4, public_decrypt: 4,
 exor: 2, generate_key: 2, generate_key: 3, compute_key: 4, md5: 1, md5_init: 0,
 md5_update: 2, md5_final: 1, md4: 1, md4_init: 0, md4_update: 2, md4_final: 1,
 sha: 1, sha_init: 0, sha_update: 2, ...]

This is what the IEx autocomplete function uses that allows you to expand both Elixir and Erlang functions.

I've been using iex(1)> exports TargetModuleName. It lists all functions and macros belonging to a module. I stumbled onto it trying to figure out how to stop Map.__info__(:functions) from truncating a long function list.

Not a function but a way to get module to list its functions in iex is to write the name of the module followed by . then hiting tab:

iex(1)> IO.     ## Hit tab
ANSI                    Stream                  StreamError
