[execute-file]

execute-file is a core slot, one of the keywords of the Hyperlambda language, in Hyperlambda, the language of Magic Cloud. Loads a Hyperlambda file and evaluates it as if it were inlined; child nodes become its [.arguments].

• Value (hyperlambda-file), required: File path to execute
• Returns: Resolves to the executed file’s value result and any returned child nodes

Arguments

Required arguments come first, then the optional ones in the order they are declared.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
any node name	object	no	Named argument passed to the executed file as a child of [.arguments]. Can be repeated.

Returned nodes

Node	Type	Required	Description
