If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the named option: the elements of the list are the option name, database name, database class, default value, and current value. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName.
- pathName default ?index?
- The default button is the button that gets invoked when the user presses Enter. Depending on the theme, the default button may be displayed with an extra highlight ring, or with a different border color. If no index is specified, it returns the currently assigned default button.
