Revision as of 17:04, 27 April 2020 by ConvertBot (talk | contribs) (display the dictionary entry of the command or commands)
display the dictionary entry of the command or commands
<name> - name of the command to show dictionary entry for
<option> - option tree to show dictionary entries for
<type> - command type to show dictionary entries of I=intrinsic, P=primitive
or M=macro
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NOTE: Prior to NeXtMidas 2.3.0 this command was named DEFAULT (no 's'). |
| The name was changed to match X-Midas usage. Since the command |
| abbreviation is identical there should be little or no issues |
| for users who use either 'DEFA' or 'DEFAULT'. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This intrinsic scans the dictionary in the current NeXtMidas session and
returns the dictionary entries that match the <name>, <option>, and <type>
entered. If any of these parameters are not provided then all dictionary
entries matching that field in are returned.
The format of each dictionary entry is a series of comma delimited fields:
<name>;<option>:<n>,<type>,<args[+]>,<name1>=<def1>,...,<nameN>=<defaultN>
Examples:
A primitive command with at least 3 or more arguments, empty defaults:
nM> default explain
INFO: EXP*LAIN;SYS I,2 ,NAME=EXPLAIN,SECTION=,
SEE ALSO: UPDATE, MENU, EXPLAIN
