Variable Attributes

The Prism whatis command shows variable attributes. These attributes include allocated and associated attributes for pointers, or the (function variable) attribute displayed for a RESULT variable in Fortran 90. For example, given this declaration:

function inc(i) result(j)
  integer i;
  integer k;
  integer j;
  k = i+1 j = k 
end function inc

the whatis command displays the function variable attribute of j:

(prism) whatis j
(function variable) integer*4 j
