void Show_System_Options

(

char *

list

)

Examines the current list of debugging/control "system options".

Parameters:

list

- A string variable that will receive a list of the current option settings. Passed by reference in all languages. Returned to user.

DETAILS

Show_System_Options() is just the complement of Define_System_Options() ; it returns a list of all the current System Option settings. It's most often used when you want to set an option temporarily---you would "show" the current settings, set up the temporary option, and after a bit put the original settings back into effect.

Show_One_System_Option() will return the current setting for one particular system option, in the style of the "Show One Attribute" routines. For example,

                Show_One_System_Option ("warnings", value)

would set value to either "on" or "off".
