Additional information is available to a Vim script. For example, :help tabpagebuflist() shows how to list all buffers in all tabs.

A script called bugreport.vim is provided with Vim. When run, the script produces a file with information about Vim's environment. To see the script, use the command :view $VIMRUNTIME/bugreport.vim in Vim.
