This is a collection of useful Erlang functions that I collected over time. It can be used as snippets or be called directly from here.

To have direct access to these functions in your Erlang shell, adopt and put the following lines in the ~/.erlang file:

$ cat ~/.erlang
EHFPath = "{{ABSPATH_TO_EHF}}/ebin",
code:add_path(EHFPath),
{ok, L} = file:list_dir(EHFPath),
[code:load_file(erlang:list_to_atom(filename:basename(F, ".beam"))) || F <- L].

This adds the modules to the code path and loads them.

Every module is a self-contained categery that I tried to keep close to the Erlang/OTP names.

Either I found them or wrote them myself. So I tried to keep credits were it's due.
