val is_external : t -> bool

Determines wether this switch is internal (bound to a prefix within the opam root) or living somewhere else, in which case its prefix dir is inferred from its name using get_root

Returns the root directory of the switch with the given name, assuming the given opam root

val external_dirname : string

The relative dirname in which the opam switch prefix sits for external switches ("_opam")

val of_dirname : OpamFilename.Dir.t -> t

Returns an external switch handle from a directory name. Resolves to the destination if external_dirname at the given dir is a symlink to another external_dirname.
