Options Functions                                                *api-options*

nvim_get_all_options_info()                      *nvim_get_all_options_info()*
    Gets the option information for all options.

    The dict has the full option names as keys and option metadata dicts as
    detailed at |nvim_get_option_info2()|.

    Attributes: ~
        Since: 0.5.0

    Return: ~
        dict of all options

    See also: ~
      • |nvim_get_commands()|

nvim_get_option_info2({name}, {opts})                *nvim_get_option_info2()*
    Gets the option information for one option from arbitrary buffer or window

    Resulting dict has keys:
    • name: Name of the option (like 'filetype')
    • shortname: Shortened name of the option (like 'ft')
    • type: type of option ("string", "number" or "boolean")
    • default: The default value for the option
    • was_set: Whether the option was set.
    • last_set_sid: Last set script id (if any)
    • last_set_linenr: line number where option was set
    • last_set_chan: Channel where option was set (0 for local)
    • scope: one of "global", "win", or "buf"
    • global_local: whether win or buf option has a global value
    • commalist: List of comma separated values
    • flaglist: List of single char flags

    When {scope} is not provided, the last set information applies to the
    local value in the current buffer or window if it is available, otherwise
    the global value information is returned. This behavior can be disabled by
    explicitly specifying {scope} in the {opts} table.

    Attributes: ~
        Since: 0.9.0

    Parameters: ~
      • {name}  Option name
      • {opts}  Optional parameters
                • scope: One of "global" or "local". Analogous to |:setglobal|
                  and |:setlocal|, respectively.
                • win: |window-ID|. Used for getting window local options.
                • buf: Buffer number. Used for getting buffer local options.
                  Implies {scope} is "local".

    Return: ~
        Option Information

nvim_get_option_value({name}, {opts})                *nvim_get_option_value()*
    Gets the value of an option. The behavior of this function matches that of
    |:set|: the local value of an option is returned if it exists; otherwise,
    the global
Title: API Command Modifiers and Options Functions
Summary
This section continues the description of the `nvim_parse_cmd` function, detailing its command modifiers, including filter patterns, silent modes, sandbox, autocmd disabling, browsing, confirmation, hiding, and window management options. It then transitions to describing option functions, including `nvim_get_all_options_info`, which retrieves information for all options, and `nvim_get_option_info2`, which gets information for a specific option from a buffer or window, specifying scope and last set information. The return is a dictionary of the option information.
