Node:Examples of option use, Previous:Evaluator trap options, Up:Runtime Options
Here is an example of a session in which some read and debug option handling procedures are used. In this example, the user
abc and aBc are not the same
read-options, and sees that case-insensitive
is set to "no".
case-insensitive
aBc and abc are the same
case-insensitive and enables debugging backtrace
aBc with backtracing enabled
[FIXME: this last example is lame because there is no depth in the
backtrace. Need to give a better example, possibly putting debugging
option examples in a separate session.]
