Components of the Visiting Scope

Some of the components of the visiting scope are visible in the following predefined ksh variables:

$vscope

Current visiting scope

$vloadobj

Current visiting load object

$vfile

Current visiting file

$vlineno

Current visiting line number

$vclass

Class to which $vfunc belongs

$vfunc

Current visiting function

All of the components of the current visiting scope stay compatible with one another. For example, if you visit a file that contains no functions, the current visiting source file is updated to the new file name and the current visiting function is updated to NULL.
