Is there a command in Julia 1.1 that lists all the methods that are available in a module?  
e.g.

```julia
module MyMod
  test1() = 1
  test2() = 2
  test3() = 3
end

```

Which would return:

` [test1,test2,test3]`

I find this

```julia
names(x::Module; all::Bool = false, imported::Bool = false)

```

Get an array of the names exported by a `Module` , excluding deprecated names. If `all` is true, then the list also includes non-exported names defined in the module, deprecated names, and compiler-generated names. If `imported` is true, then names explicitly imported from other modules are also included.

As a special case, all names defined in `Main` are considered “exported”, since it is not idiomatic to explicitly export names from `Main` .

I get a 354-element vector. It is not completely shown on my console.

How can I get the long list complete.

`show(stdout, "text/plain", somevector)`

there is also the package [TerminalPager](https://github.com/ronisbr/TerminalPager.jl) which can be used like:

```julia
using TerminalPager
# [...]
somevector |> pager

```

I usually do `foreach(println, x)`.

This is not the correct answer, because names() will export all names, not only those of the functions. How can I get only the names of the functions?

</div>

you could just filter all the names for beeing a function or not.

```julia
filter( x -> isa(getfield(module_name, x), Function), names(module_name))

# or

filter( x -> isa(getfield(module_name, x), Function), names(module_name; all=true))

```

Thanks! Now using:

```julia
function list_functions()
    fncs = filter( x -> isa(getfield(Main, x), Function), names(Main))
    for (i, fn) in pairs(fncs)
        println(fn)
        if (mod(i, 10)) == 0
            println("Press enter to continue...")
            readline()
        end
    end
end

```

Check also this alternative:

```julia
function list_functions(Module)
   fncs = filter(x -> isa(getfield(Module, x), Function), names(Module))
   foreach(x -> (println.(x); Base.prompt("\nENTER")), Iterators.partition(fncs, 10))
end

```
