2-14 Getting Started
Many of the examples presented in this chapter build on previous
examples. If you are entering the trace commands shown, you will
sometimes find it easier to modify a previous trace command than
to enter the new command. If the command you wish to modify
was the last command entered, it is still on the command line and
you may edit it using the command line editing features (for
example, using the left arrow and right arrow keys, using type-over,
insert, delete, etc.). If the command you wish to modify was not the
last command entered, you will have to recall the command. There
are two ways to recall trace commands: command recall and the
"trace modify_command" command.
If the command you wish to modify has been recently entered
(within the last 20 commands), you can use the command recall
feature. Press < CTRL> -R to recall commands. If you pass up the
command of interest, you can use < CTRL> -B to move forward
through the list.
The "trace modify_command" command recalls the last trace
command. The advantage of this command over command recall is
that you do not have to move forward and backward over other
commands to find the last trace command; also, the last trace
command is always available, no matter how many commands have
been entered since.
