dbx Command Summary

Here is a local copy ofshort explanation of commandsanddbx faq.

Basic Dbx Shell Commands

!!	execute the previous command
r	execute the previous command

print [-r] [-d]<statement>	prints<statement>.
	<statement> can be a function call, a local variable, or a constant
	(though not a macro, because the c preprocessor and dbx don't
	work and play well together

	if <spec> equals ask, then ask which to follow after a call to fork(2)
assign<var> = <exp>	assign <exp> to <var>

in <func>	When the program enters <func>
at <line>	When <line> in the current file is about to be executed
at<filename>:<line>	When <line> in<filename> is about to be executed
inmethod <func>	Entry into any method named <func>
infunction <func>	Entry into any overloaded version of <func>
inclass <class>	Trigger in any member of <class>
inmember <class>	Entry into any member function of a class (c++ only)
inobject. . . [>|>>]	Trigger in any member of an instance of a class (c++ only)
modify<addr-expr> [,<size-expr>]	Trigger when the address range is written to
throw	A C++ exception has been thrown
throw <type>	A C++ exception of type <type> has been thrown.

-if <cond>	event only fires when <cond> is true
-in <func>	event only fires when in <func>
-count <n>	count up from 0; fire event and reset counter whennhas been reached
-temp	A temporary event. Delete event when fired

check <type>	checks for runtime errors specified by <type> (see below)
check <type> <places>	check for runtime errors in <places> where <places>
	is a comma separated list of files, functions, or loadobjects.
	this can be used to focus RTC on specific places.
uncheck <type>	stops checking for runtime errors.
showleaks [-v]	shows memory leaks (-v for verbose)
showmemuse [-v]	shows memory usage (-v for verbose)
suppress	History of suppress and unsuppress commands
suppress <errors>	Suppress <errors> everywhere.
suppress <errors> <places>	Suppress <errors> in <places> where <places>
	is a comma separated list of files, functions, or loadobjects.
unsuppress <errors>	Stop suppressing <errors> everywhere.
unsuppress <errors> <places>	Stop suppressing <errors> in <places>.

baf	Bad free
duf	Duplicate free
maf	Misaligned free
mar	Misaligned read
maw	Misaligned write
oom	Out of memory
rua	Read from unallocated memory
rui	Read from uninitialized memory
wro	Write to read-only memory
wua	Write to unallocated memory
aib	Possible memory leak - only pointer points in the middle of the block
air	Possible memory leak - pointer to the block exists only in register
mel	Memory leak - no pointers to the block

-access	Stops the process whenever a memory access error occurs.
	This checks forbaf, duf, maf, mar, maw, oom, rua, rui, wro, wua
	If you setdbxenv rtc_autoto ``on'', then access errors will be
	logged to a file rather than halting execution (controlled byrtc_error_log_filename)
-leaks	Generates a list of memory leaks when the program terminates.
	checks foraib, air, mel. The report is not verbose by default,
	controlled byrtc_mel_at_exit. Also, you can useshowleaksat any time
-memuse	Generates a list of blocks in use when the program terminates. Implies -leaks
	This report is not verbose by default, and controlled byrtc_biu_at_exit
-all	Checks for memory usage and leaks

All RTC checking types may be followed by either of the following two options:

-frames <n>	Display <n> distinct stack frames when reporting leaks.
-match <m>	if two or more errors match <m> or more stack frames, then
	they are reported as one error.

list	list the default number of lines in the current file
list <n>	list line number <n> in the current file
list +<n>	list the next <n> lines in the current file
list<n1>, [+]<n2>	list lines from <n1> to <n2> (or the next <n2> lines if +<n2>)
list<filename>:<n>	list line <n> in filename.
list -i	intermix assembly lines between source lines
list -w	list a window of 10 lines.
edit<filename>	edit (in$EDITOR)<filename>
edit <proc>	edit file containing procedure <proc>
dis<addr> [/<count>]	disassemble <count> instructions at <addr>

whereis <func>	Returns the file containing <func>
whatis <name>	returns the type of <name>. Example: ``whatis main'' would
	return ``void main(int argc, char **argv)''
collector	collect information about performance.
__cb_prompt	A ksh function that gets called before the prompt is displayed
dalias	set (or list) a dbx alias
ignore <signal>	ignore signal named/numbered <signal>
(un)intercept<typename>	(do not) intercept throws of type<typename>
(un)intercept -a	(do not) intercept all throws
(un)intercept -x<typename>	(Do not) intercept throws of type<typename>(use with above)
(un)intercept	list intercepted types

fix	fix the current file.
fix	Fix list of files
fix -f	Force fixing of a file, even if it has not been modified.
fix -a	Fix all modified files
fix -g	strip -O flags and replace with -g flags
fix -c	print compilation line
fix -n	no execution (list what would have been done)
fix -v	verbose mode
fix +v	non-verbose mode
__cb_fix_comp	dbxenvvariable that controls compilation options
__cb_fix_link	dbxenvvariable that controls link options
fix_verbose	dbxenvvariable that printing of the compilation line during a ``fix'' (default off)
fix-pitfalls	the section ofhelpthat lists ``fix'''s limitations.
