$hexchars 0 If nonzero, outputs characters in hexadecimal,
using C format “%x”. This affects char type
variables, including those in structures. It
does not affect arrays of characters, which are
printed using the “%.*s” format.
$hexdoubles 0 If nonzero, float and double values print as
normal, with a trailing output of hex
ffffffff and hex ffffffff 00000000,
respectively. These are hex representations of
the bits of the float and double.
$hexin 0 If nonzero, input constants are assumed to be
in hexadecimal. This overrides $octin.
$hexints 0 If nonzero, outputs integers in hexadecimal
format. This overrides $octints.
$hexstrings 0 If nonzero, outputs strings and arrays in
hexadecimal. For character arrays, if nonzero,
the null byte is not taken as a terminator.
Instead, prints the entire array (or $maxlen
values, whichever is less). If 0, then a null byte
in a C or C++ character array is taken as the
end of the array (the length of the array and
$maxstrlen can terminate the array printing
before a null byte is found).
$historyevent The current history line number.
$lastchild The process ID of the last child process created
by a fork or sproc system call.
$lines 100 The number of lines in the history list.
$listwindow 10 Specifies how many lines the list command
lists.
$maxstrlen 128 Maximum length printed for zero-terminated
char strings and arrays. Prints char arrays for
array-length, $maxstrlen bytes, or up to a null
byte, whichever comes first (see $hexstrings).
