ATTRIBUTES

Overview

The ATTRIBUTES command retrieves a blank-separated list of attributes of a shell item, or of variables available in a given context.

Usage

#list := ATTRIBUTES item|MACRO|SHELL|GLOBAL
returns the blank-separated list of all available attributes for the supplied shell item item or a list of variables available:
  • in the current macro, if ATTRIBUTES MACRO is used;
  • in the current shell, if ATTRIBUTES SHELL is used;
  • globally, if ATTRIBUTES GLOBAL is used.

Example

#table := new table *
#list := ATTRIBUTES $#table
um 'The item attributes available for a table item are: $#list'
delete /Var #list
