VALUES
|
EXPLANATION
|
ASSERT
|
boolean
|
If true, ASSERT functions are evaluated as expected. If false (default), ASSERT functions are ignored. ASSERT is obsolete (but still supported) and has been replaced by assertlevel.
|
assertlevel
|
0, 1, 2
|
0 - assertions are not checked
|
|
|
1 - only calls to the ASSERT function are checked
|
|
|
2 - calls to the ASSERT function, as well as assignment type assertions are checked.
|
|
|
The default value is 0.
|
bindir
|
string
|
The path to the system binary directory of the Maple installation. This value cannot be set.
|
byteorder
|
string
|
Either "little endian" or "big endian". This value cannot be set.
|
bytesalloc
|
integer
|
Total number of bytes allocated by the Maple mathematical kernel. This value cannot be set.
|
bytesused
|
integer
|
Total number of bytes used by the Maple mathematical kernel. This value cannot be set.
|
cacheclearlimit
|
integer
|
The data limit, in kibibytes, for maintaining temporary elements in cache tables. A check is performed whenever memory is allocated from the system. If the total amount of memory allocated exceeds this limit, cache tables will be automatically cleared of all temporary elements on the next garbage collection. Values passed for this option can be given with a Unit of information.
|
cpulimit
|
integer
|
The total amount of CPU time, in seconds that Maple may consume. Maple aborts if this time limit is exceeded. If the value is 0 or it is not given the current limit is returned. Limits may be raised or lowered. Maple limits cannot be raised above any system imposed hard limits. Values passed for this option can be given with a Unit of time.
|
cputime
|
float
|
Total CPU time used since the beginning of the session. This value cannot be set.
|
cputype
|
string
|
A string describing the CPU type that the current version of Maple was built for. This is most useful on APPLE_UNIVERSAL_OSX where there are multiple possible CPU types for the same value of kernelopts( system ).
|
dagtag
|
name or integer
|
This option is more like a function in that it always requires a value and always returns a value. If the value is an integer, a name is returned. If the value is a name, an integer is returned. This facility is used to map between internal data structure ID numbers and their names. (See the assemble function.)
|
datadir
|
string
|
Location of the data directory containing auxiliary files such as text files, XML Schemas, and DTDs. Cannot be set.
|
datalimit
|
integer
|
The total amount of heap memory in kibibytes that Maple may consume. Maple aborts if this limit is exceeded. If the value is 0 or it is not given the current limit is returned. Limits may be raised or lowered. Maple limits may not be raised above system imposed hard limits. This option is not supported on all platforms. Values passed for this option can be given with a Unit of information.
|
dirsep
|
string
|
Returns the directory separator character for the architecture on which Maple is running. Cannot be set.
|
display_zero_complex_part
|
boolean
|
When set to false complex numbers of the form a+0*I are displayed without the 0*I part. The default value for this option is true.
|
filelimit
|
integer
|
The maximum number of files that Maple can have open at one time. If the value is 0 or it is not given the current limit is returned. Important: This limit also affects internal Maple functions.
|
floatPi
|
boolean
|
Controls whether Pi is evaluated to a floating-point number when it is in an expression that contains other floating-point numbers. The default is true.
|
gcbytesavail
|
integer
|
Number of bytes available after the last invocation of garbage collection. This value cannot be set.
|
gcbytesreturned
|
integer
|
Number of bytes returned by the last invocation of garbage collection. This value cannot be set.

The maximum number of threads Maple should use for the parallel garbage collector. The default is numcpus or 4, whichever is lower.
|
gcthreadmemorysize
|
integer
|
Maple determines how many threads to use for its parallel garbage collector by dividing number of bytes allocated, kernelopts(bytesalloc), by the value of gcthreadmemorysize, rounded up. The default value is 128 MiB.
|
gctimes
|
integer
|
Number of times that garbage collection has been invoked. This value cannot be set.
|
gctotaltime
|
float
|
The total amount of time spent performing garbage collections in CPU time.

|
float
|
The total amount of time spent performing garbage collections in real time.
|
gmpthreshold
|
integer
|
The threshold when the GNU Multiple Precision (GMP) library will be used for integer arithmetic. Maple represents all integers as either immediate or GMP integers. Therefore, kernelopts(maximmediate) may be more useful. kernelopts(gmpthreshold) is defined to be floor(log[10](kernelopts(maximmediate))). Thus, integers with greater than kernelopts(gmpthreshold) digits are represented as GMP integers. This value cannot be set.
|
gmpversion
|
string
|
The version of the GNU Multiple Precision (GMP) library used for long integer arithmetic. This value cannot be set.
|
heaps
|
table
|
Returns the type, starting address, ending address, the size in kibibytes of all the memory heaps currently used by the memory allocator and the thread identifier of the heap owner. The types are one of thread-local, global or large. Maple employs a multi-level allocator that distributes memory from different heap types based on the requested size. Allocations 4KB and less are serviced from a thread-local heap. Requests for blocks of memory greater than 4KB up to 1MB are handed out from the global heap. Finally, blocks of memory greater than 1MB are individually allocated from a large heap unto themselves.
|
homedir
|
string
|
The path to the current user's home directory. This value cannot be set.
|
includepath
|
string or list
|
An ordered list of directories (separated by "," or ";") specifying the search path for included files. The initial value can be overridden by supplying an include path at the command line by using the -I option. When modifying the include path via kernelopts, the path should not be prefixed with "-I". The maximum number of include path entries is 25.
|
inline

boolean
|
Specifies whether or not procedures with option inline are in-line expanded. The default value is true.
|
jvmheaplimit
|
integer
|

|
keepdebuginfo
|
boolean
|
If true (the default), debugging information stored in a procedure read from a library archive or source file is retained, allowing source level debugging (if the source code is available). If false, the debugging information is discarded.
|
level
|
integer
|
Internal depth of recursion/computation indicator. This value cannot be set.
|
limitjvmheap
|
boolean
|
If true, Maple limits the heap for the Java external calling virtual machine. The actual limit can be specified using the jvmheaplimit kernel option. The default value is false.

|
Returns true if the current engine is multithreaded and false otherwise. Cannot be set.
|
numcpus
|
integer

|
numactivethreads
|
integer
|
Returns the number of active threads. An active thread is any thread that is executing code, and is not paused on a mutex or condition variable and is not waiting for another thread to finish. The number of active threads can change at any time. Cannot be set.
|
opaquemodules
|
boolean
|
Specifies whether local members of a module are accessible outside the module. Setting this to false makes it easier to debug code that uses modules. The default value is true.

|
pid

When a specific toolbox name is specified, the version information for only that toolbox is returned.
|
tracecatch
|
