15.6.1.2194 SEE TOOLS

( "<spaces>name" -- )

Display a human-readable representation of the named word's definition. The source of the representation (object-code decompilation, source block, etc.) and the particular form of the display is implementation defined.

SEE may be implemented using pictured numeric output words. Consequently, its use may corrupt the transient region identified by #>.

See:

Rationale:

SEE acts as an on-line form of documentation of words, allowing modification of words by decompiling and regenerating with appropriate changes.
