. Information about procs - info .
[ Previous | Index | Next ]
The info command includes a set of subcommands that will provide all the info you could want about a proc. These subcommands will return the body of a proc, the arguments to the proc, and the value of any default arguments.
These subcommands can be used to:
- Access the contents of a proc in a debugger.
- Generate custom procs from a template.
- Report default values while prompting for input.

- info body procname
