### ACL2-PC::SHOW-ABBREVIATIONS

(macro) `` display the current abbreviations

    Major Section:  PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS

    Examples:
    (show-abbreviations v w)
       -- assuming that v and w currently abbreviate terms,
          then this instruction displays them together with
          the terms they abbreviate
    show-abbreviations
       -- display all abbreviations

See also `add-abbreviation` and `remove-abbreviations`. In particular, the documentation for `add-abbreviation` contains a general discussion of abbreviations.

    General Form:
    (show-abbreviations &rest vars)

Display each argument in `vars` together with the term it abbreviates (if any). If there are no arguments, i.e. the instruction is simply `show-abbreviations`, then display all abbreviations together with the terms they abbreviate.

If the term abbreviated by a variable, say `v`, contains a proper subterm that is also abbreviate by (another) variable, then both the unabbreviated term and the abbreviated term (but not using `(? v)` to abbreviate the term) are displayed with together with `v`.
