Beeline equivalent of "set"

While editing SHOW CONF
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-ShowConf>
and updating Configuring Hive
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration#AdminManualConfiguration-ConfiguringHive>,
I wondered whether Beeline has a command similar to the CLI's "set" for
either setting or showing the values of configuration parameters.

I also wonder whether --hiveconf (in Beeline or the CLI) can be used
without giving a value, to show the current setting of a particular
parameter.

Would a Beeline expert please take a look at SHOW CONF
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-ShowConf>
 and Configuring Hive
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration#AdminManualConfiguration-ConfiguringHive>
and
suggest revisions?
