Appendix I HP Symbolic Debugger Commands
This section describes command syntax and gives a description of all the
HP Symbolic Debugger commands.
Enter the following command to start the debugger:
[ [-d group[.acct]] ]
[ [-r file ] ]
run xdb.pub.sys [;info="[-p file ] [...]"]
[ [-L ] ]
[ [-S num ] ]
[ [objectfile ] ]
The HP Symbolic Debugger options are described below:
-d group.[acct] This option names an alternate group and (optional) account
containing the source files used to create the objectfile.
Group and accounts are searched in the order that you list
them. The current group and account is used if the file is not
found in the group and account that you enter here. You can
enter more than one -d option.
-p file This option names a playback file created in a previous
debugger session (see the -r option) or one that you created
yourself.
-r file This option names the file to which all debugger commands that
you enter are recorded. You can use this file as a playback
file in subsequent debug sessions (see the -p parameter).
Recording begins as soon as you start the debugger. Any
previous contents of the file are overwritten (no appending
takes place).
-L This option allows you to use the debugger in line mode when
you do not have a terminal that supports memory lock.
-S num This option sets the string-cache size to the number of bytes
specified. The string cache holds data read from the
objectfile. The default is 1024 bytes (1kb). Increasing the
string cache size can improve debugger performance for large
programs.
objectfile This argument names the file that contains the executable code
for the program. If you do not enter this option, you will be
prompted for the objectfile. If this is the first time you are
running the debugger, objectfile will be preprocessed to allow
faster debugger startups in subsequent sessions.
