Privileged Mode Switches the process-specific pointers and registers to allow the examination
of process related information. Syntax | |
Parameters | |
- pin
The process identification number (PIN). If omitted, the current process
that was active at dump time is used. If no process was active at dump
time, a PIN of zero is used (A PIN of 0 refers to the dispatcher). - ANYSTATE
If the keyword ANYSTATE is specified, the current state of the process for pin is not verified before the process switch occurs.
If this keyword is absent, the current state of the process for pin must be "alive" for the command to succeed.
Examples | |
Switches the process pointers and the registers to PIN 8. Limitations, Restrictions | |
The current implementation of this command for Debug is to take the process
state as last stored in its task control block (TCB). The NM symbol names
for the process will not be known. | | | |  | WARNING! In Debug, switching to another PIN does not cause that process to suspend
execution. As a result, subsequent use of certain other Debug commands, such
as TRACE, may not work properly, and may even cause the system to crash.
In order to prevent the possibility of a system failure, the PIN should first
be suspended, as with the Break key or the :BREAKJOB command, before
using the PIN command in debug. | | | | |
| | | |  | CAUTION: The output format of all System Debug commands is subject to change
without notice. Programs that are developed to postprocess
System Debug output should not depend on the exact format (spacing,
alignment, number of lines, uppercase or lowercase, or spelling) of
any System Debug command output. | | | | |
