-internal
(-i)
| boolean |  |
|
Show the attributes that are marked as internal to the node.
Use the 'on' state to get internal attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-internal attributes.
|
|
-hidden
(-h)
| boolean | |
|
Show the attributes that are marked as hidden.
Use the 'on' state to get hidden attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-hidden attributes.
|
|
-multi
(-m)
| boolean | |
|
Show the attributes that are multis.
Use the 'on' state to get multi attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-multi attributes.
|
|
-leaf
(-l)
| boolean | |
|
Show the attributes that are complex leaves (ie. that have parent attributes
and have no children themselves).
Use the 'on' state to get leaf attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-leaf attributes.
|
|
-writable
(-w)
| boolean | |
|
Show the attributes that are writable (ie. can have input connections).
Use the 'on' state to get writable attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-writable attributes.
|
|
-bool
(-b)
| boolean | |
|
Show the attributes that are of type boolean.
Use the 'on' state to get only boolean attributes; the 'off' state
to ignore boolean attributes.

-enumerated
(-e)

|
Show the attributes that are of type enumerated.
Use the 'on' state to get only enumerated attributes; the 'off' state
to ignore enumerated attributes.
|

The default is to take the logical 'or' of the above conditions.
Specifying this flag switches to the logical 'and' instead.

-short
(-s)
| | |
|
Show the short attribute names instead of the long names.
|
