Subject: Inspecting functions returning complicated values
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2014 01:58:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lhp0hd9m.fsf@wmi.amu.edu.pl> (raw)

Hi list,

assume that I want to inspect a function whose return value is a long,
deeply nested list.  I found this way to present it in a readable way:

M-: (setq blah-blah (function-returning-hairy-stuff))
C-h C-v blah-blah

This seems a bit awkward, however.  Is there a better/cleaner way?

TIA,

--
