Description
This command gets the currently defined value for a specified tool parameter. These parameters are user-definable configuration settings that control various behaviors within the tool. Refer to report_param for a description of what each parameter configures or controls.
Arguments
<name> - (Required) The name of the parameter to get the value of. The list of user-definable parameters can be obtained with list_param. This command requires the full name of the desired parameter. It does not perform any pattern matching, and accepts only one parameter at a time.
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the
set_msg_config command.Examples
