Options

MACPie has an options system that lets you customize some aspects of its behaviour and output.

Options have a “dotted-style”, case-insensitive name (e.g. display.max_rows).

The API is composed of 3 relevant functions, available directly from the macpie namespace:

Functions

reset_option(key)	Reset one or more options to their default value. ::.
get_option(key)	Retrieves the value of the specified option. ::.
set_option(key, value)	Sets the value of the specified option. ::.
