;;; Commentary:

;; This code provides functions to list and edit the values of all global
;; option variables known to loaded Emacs Lisp code.  There are two entry
;; points, `list-options' and `edit' options'.  The latter enters a major
;; mode specifically for editing option values.  Do `M-x describe-mode' in
;; that context for more details.

;;; Code:

;;;###autoload
(defun list-options ()
  "Display a list of Emacs user options, with values and documentation."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (set-buffer (get-buffer-create "*List Options*"))
    (Edit-options-mode))
  (with-output-to-temp-buffer "*List Options*"
    (let (vars)
      (mapatoms (function (lambda (sym)
			    (if (user-variable-p sym)

Major mode for editing Emacs user option settings.
Special commands are:

\\[Edit-options-toggle] -- toggle variable, t -> nil, nil -> t.
\\[Edit-options-t] -- set variable to t.

Changed values made by these commands take effect immediately.

Each variable description is a paragraph.
