__info__/1 with :exports in Elixir 1.6

Question

In Elixir 1.5 I used to use the __info__ function with the :exports atom as the kind parameter.

In 1.6 :exports has been removed as an option. I reviewed the changelog for 1.6 and didn't see any mention of the change.

# Used to work
MyModule.__info__(:exports)

What is the way to do it now?

Answer 1

You can use MyModule.module_info(:exports), which is the Erlang variant. Smells like some cleanup of useless duplication got done here. The 1.5 docs explicitly referred to the Erlang module documentation (http://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/modules.html) and all the functionality described there is still available through the Erlang variant of this call.
