Get-PSReadLineOption

SYNOPSIS

Gets values for the options that can be configured.

SYNTAX

Get-PSReadLineOption [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The `Get-PSReadLineOption` cmdlet returns the current state of the settings that can be configured by using the `Set-PSReadLineOption` cmdlet. You can use the returned object to change PSReadLine options. This provides a slightly simpler way to set syntax coloring options for multiple kinds of tokens.
