takeall

Takeall is a term used in software interfaces and programming to describe a bulk transfer action that moves or aggregates all items from one source to a destination, or all results into a single collection. The exact meaning and behavior vary by context, but the core idea is to perform an all-at-once operation rather than handling items individually.

In user interfaces, takeall commonly appears in inventory systems, containers, or storage dashboards. A take all button or command typically transfers every transferable item from a source container (such as a chest or inventory) to a destination (such as the player’s inventory or a storage shelf). Variants may transfer by item type, by stack, or across all slots, and may enforce constraints such as maximum stack sizes, item locks, or permission rules. Some implementations require user confirmation to prevent accidental loss or misplacement of items, while others execute immediately.

In programming and scripting, takeAll (often written in camelCase or as TakeAll) denotes a function or method that collects all items or results from multiple sources into a single collection. It is used in data processing, asynchronous workflows, and library APIs to simplify bulk aggregation, batching, or synchronization tasks. Behavior can differ: some versions haul all items regardless of origin, while others apply filters or handle errors and retries.

Design considerations for takeall features include safety (undo capabilities, confirmations), performance (efficient bulk transfers), and correctness (respecting item properties, permissions, and destination capacity). Overall, takeall is a pragmatic shorthand for bulk collection or transfer operations across various software domains.
