Arguments

target_name

Name of a single file or

path_prefix

Optional path prefix for exported files only (not for objects). If given, a file path/to/file will be exported as path_prefix/path/to/file; this is useful to avoid overwriting existing data, as this will happen without warning.

archive_file

Name of the archive file to use, by default remake.zip.

Value

If target_name refers to an object, then the return value is the restored object. If target_name refers to a file, then the return value is the path to the restored file (including path_prefix if given).
