Is there a way I can query from within Vim information about user-defined vimscript

  • 0

Is there a way I can query from within Vim information about user-defined vimscript functions and script files that Vim knows about?

The things I’d like to know are:

  • Is a particular function defined?
  • Which source file is a given function defined in?
  • What are the vimscript files that have been sourced?

Etc.

    • Is a particular function defined?

    Use the exists function:

    :echo exists("*funcname")
    
    • Which source file is a given function defined in?

    Unfortunately, there’s no straight-forward way to do this. You would have to parse the output of :verbose function.

    • What are the vimscript files that have been sourced?

    Again, there’s no straight-forward way to do this. You would have to parse the output of :scriptnames.

    What’s the big picture for what you’re trying to do that made you ask these questions? There may be a better way to achieve it without needing answers to each question.
