set

set <name> [option] <value>

Depending on the type of the switch, options and value specification varies. Possible value types for switches are Boolean (on, off), string ("value"), integers (5434443), lists (lisp syntax).

For a list of all available switches, use set ?. To see the current values, use show switches. To single out two general purpose switches, verbose and quiet tell the system to behave in the respective way.
