Calling Sequence

anames( 'environment' );

anames( 'active' );

Parameters

type

expression

Description

• 

The anames command returns an expression sequence of names that are currently assigned values other than their own name.

• 

Only top-level global names are returned.  This excludes module exports and local variables.  The name of a global module itself will be included in the anames list, and can be used to find child members.

• 

When anames is called with a type, anames returns an expression sequence of names that are currently assigned values of the given type.

• 

When called with the argument environment, anames returns an expression sequence of environment variables in the active environment.

• 

When called with the argument user, anames returns an expression sequence of user-assigned names.  A user-assigned name is defined as a name that is not saved in a library, and does not contain a forward-slash ('/') or leading underscore ('_').

• 

When called with the argument alluser, anames returns the same output as anames(user) without filtering names containing a forward-slash ('/') or leading underscore ('_').

• 

When called with the argument active, anames returns all the global names that have been assigned to in the current session.

Thread Safety

• 

The anames command is thread-safe as of Maple 15.

• 

For more information on thread safety, see index/threadsafe.
