.IX Item "globPrint"
Whether to print contents of globs.

.el .IP "\f(CWtick\fR, \f(CWquoteHighBit\fR, \f(CWprintUndef\fR" 4
.IX Item "tick, quoteHighBit, printUndef"
Change style of string dump. Default value of \f(CW\*(C`tick\*(C'\fR is \f(CW\*(C`auto\*(C'\fR, one
can enable either double-quotish dump, or single-quotish by setting it
to \f(CW\*(C`"\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`'\*(C'\fR. By default, characters with high bit set are printed
\&\fIas is\fR. If \f(CW\*(C`quoteHighBit\*(C'\fR is set, they will be quoted.
.ie n .IP """usageOnly""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWusageOnly\fR" 4
.IX Item "usageOnly"
rudimentally per-package memory usage dump. If set,
\&\f(CW\*(C`dumpvars\*(C'\fR calculates total size of strings in variables in the package.
.IP "unctrl" 4
.IX Item "unctrl"
Changes the style of printout of strings. Possible values are
\&\f(CW\*(C`unctrl\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`quote\*(C'\fR.
.IP "subdump" 4
.IX Item "subdump"
Whether to try to find the subroutine name given the reference.

.IX Item "stopDbSignal"
Whether to abort printing if debugger signal flag is raised.

Later in the life of the object the methods may be queries with \fIget()\fR
method and \fIset()\fR method (which accept multiple arguments).

start with \f(CW\*(C`~\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`!\*(C'\fR, in which case they are interpreted as regular
expressions (possibly negated).

The second example prints entries with names \f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR, and also entries
with names which ends on \f(CW\*(C`bar\*(C'\fR, or are shorter than 5 chars.
