:inspect

Arguments: object

This command is similar to a call to inspect applied to object and starts inspection of an object (note that object is evaluated by inspect (of course) and by this top-level command). When inspection starts, an inspection loop is entered (see :istep which inspects something but does not enter an inspection loop). On Windows with the Integrated Development Environment, this command causes an Inspector window to be displayed so there is no opportunity to use the :inspect top-level command.

The minimal abbreviation of :inspect is :in. Note: in releases prior to 6.0, the minimal abbreviation was :i but :istep, new in 6.0, now has minimal abbreviation :i.

See inspector.htm for more information.

See top-level.htm for more information on top-level commands.
