show_define(1) OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual
NAME
show_define - Displays the values of DEFINE attributes
SYNOPSIS
show_define [attribute-name]
DESCRIPTION
The show_define command is specific to HP and a shell built-in command. It displays the values
associated with the specified DEFINE attributes. It can display all attribute values that are
currently set or defaulted, and it can show all attributes in the current working set and the value
of each attribute. The show_define command is similiar to the TACL INFO DEFINE command.
The show_define command has the same output as the TACL INFO DEFINE command. Refer
to the TACL Reference Manual for more information on the output of show_define.
attribute-name
Specifies the attribute whose value is to be displayed. Valid attribute-names are:
catalog | defaults | map | search |
sort | spool | subsort | tape
If no argument is specified with the show_define command, all attribute names and their current
values for the working attribute set are displayed. (Optional attributes that have no current value
are listed with a blank value.)
Environment Variables
LANG Determines the locale to use for the locale categories when neither the LC_ALL vari-
able nor the corresponding environment variable (beginning with LC_) specify a
locale.
LC_ALL
Determines the locale to be used to override any values for locale categories specified
by the LANG variable or any environment variable whose name begins with LC_.
LC_CTYPE
Determines the locale for interpretation of bytes of text data as characters (for example,
single-byte as opposed to multibyte characters in arguments).
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnos-
tic messages written to the standard error file and of informational messages written to
the standard output file.
EXAMPLES
1. To display the value currently set for the tape attribute, enter:
show_define tape
This command might result in the following display:
