'help lattr()' unclear

Reported by: Talvo Assigned to: raevnos
Priority: minor Milestone: 1.8.2p6

Description

The help for lattr() suggests that, if you don't give a wildcard pattern, it returns all the attributes you can see, but that's not longer true (it's equiv to lattr(obj/*), not lattr(obj/**)). Also, when it lists the possible ways you can see all attributes, don't you need to pass the Examine lock now, as well as it being set vis?

  • owner set to raevnos.
  • type changed from suggested feature to documentation.
  • milestone set to 1.8.2p4.

The help file for lattr(), while not directly mentioning attribute trees or why you would want to use **, does give ?, * and ** as example wildcards and says that it takes the same things as examine (And its help entry does say all that).

I'll change it to include mention of the examine lock, though.
