The value of each key is either the string tt(on) if the +option is currently set, or the string tt(off) if the option is unset. +Setting a key to one of these strings is like setting or unsetting +the option, respectively. Unsetting a key in this array is like +setting it to the value tt(off). +) +vindex(commands) +item(tt(command))( +This array gives access to the command hash table.
