<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>what</B> command queries what material is in the current
selection. This includes a report on layers, labels, and subcell
instances that are selected. <P>
In the Tcl version of <B>magic</B>, the <B>-list</B> option
returns the result as a Tcl list containing three sub-lists.
The first sub-list contains the types found, the second contains
the labels found, and the third contains the subcells found.
Each label in the second sub-list is itself a list of three
items: The label text, the layer the label is attached to, and
the cell def containing the label. Each subcell in the third
sub-list is itself a list of two items: The subcell instance
ID name, and the cell definition name. <P>
<B>-listall</B> is a variant of the Tcl list, in which the first
sub-list contains the types found, where each entry is itself a
list. Each list entry first item is the name of the layer, and
the second entry is a list containing the names of all subcells
where that type is found. <P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>what</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
