@import(comptime path: []u8) type

This function finds a zig file corresponding to path and adds it to the build, if it is not already added.

Zig source files are implicitly structs, with a name equal to the file’s basename with the extension truncated. @import returns the struct type corresponding to the file.

Declarations which have the pub keyword may be referenced from a different source file than the one they are declared in.

path can be a relative path or it can be the name of a package. If it is a relative path, it is relative to the file that contains the @import function call.

The following packages are always available:

@import("std") - Zig Standard Library
@import("builtin") - Target-specific information The command zig build-exe --show-builtin outputs the source to stdout for reference.
