The parameters of these library selection functions always come in
pairs <function>, <value>. Thus
AllCharTableNames(IsSimple, true)
lists the names of all available char tables of simple groups. Likewise
gap> AllPrimitiveGroups(DegreeOperation, 24); [ PSL(2,23), PGL(2,23), M(24), A(24), S(24) ]
lists the primitive groups of degree 24.
The manual entry for the function 'AllCharTableNames' is found in the
section "Selecting Library Tables". It is not quite correct in that
respect.
