Syntax

set::=

set [ variable-name [ variable-value ] ]

Semantics

variable-name

Specifies the name of the variable that you want to set. If you do not specify a variable name, then set displays the variables that are currently set.

variable-value

Specifies the value to which variable-name should be set.

Example

Example 2-148 sets the errors variable to long so that errors include descriptive text and the obtool component name and then resets it to short.
