list-variables(2)

NAME

list-variables - List defined variables

SYNOPSIS

list-variables (C-h v) 

DESCRIPTION

list-variables pops up a window with a list of all register, buffer, user and global variables with their current setting. The variables are shown for the current buffer from which the command was invoked

list-variables provides a good alternative to describe-variable(2) where the value of multiple variables is to be interrogated.

The output is displayed in four sections:-

Register variables


The current settings of the global register variables ('#' prefix).

Buffer Variables


The current setting of the buffer variables (':' prefix). This variables relate to the current buffer from which the command was invoked.

System Variables


The current settings of the system variables ('$' prefix).

Global Variables


The current setting of the global variables ('%' prefix).
