Command Reference2.  FPGA Express Shell Commands         printvar



_N_A_M_E
          printvar       Prints the values of one or more
                         variables.


SYNTAX
          string printvar [_p_a_t_t_e_r_n] [-user_defined] [-
          application]

          string    _p_a_t_t_e_r_n


ARGUMENTS
          _p_a_t_t_e_r_n        Variable names which match _p_a_t_t_e_r_n will
                         be printed.  The optional _p_a_t_t_e_r_n
                         argument can include the wildcard
                         characters "*" and "?".  If omitted, all
                         variables are printed.


          -user_defined  Show only user-defined variables.  If
                         combined with -application, the behavior
                         is as though neither option was used.


          -application   Show only application variables.  If
                         combined with -user_defined, the
                         behavior is as though neither option was
                         used.


DESCRIPTION
          The printvar command prints the values of one or more
          variables. If the _p_a_t_t_e_r_n argument is not specified,
          the command prints out the values of all the variables
          (both application and user defined variables).   The
          -user_defined option limits the variables to those
          which you have defined.  The -application option limits
          the variables to those created by the application.  If
          both options are used, they cancel each other out.

          Some variables are suppressed from the output of
          printvar.  For example, the Tcl environment variable
          array _e_n_v is not shown.  In order to see the
          environment variables, use the printenv command.  Also,
          the Tcl variable _e_r_r_o_r_I_n_f_o is not shown.  To see the
          error stack, use the error_info command.


EXAMPLES
          The following command prints the values of all the
          variables.

                         prompt> printvar


          The following command prints the values of all
          applcation variables that match the pattern sh*a*.



                         prompt> printvar -application sh*a*
                         sh_arch                 = "sparcOS5"

          The following command prints the value of the variable
          search_path.

          The following command prints the value of the user
          defined variables.



                         prompt> printvar -user_defined
