Chapter 3: Entering Debugger Commands
Using the Command Line with the Keyboard
To enter a command keyword, type the first letter of the keyword. For
example, to enter the command Debugger L evel Assembly, type the letters D, L,
and A. The following command will appear on the command line:
Debugger Level Assembly
Press < Return> to enter (execute) the command.
In command examples, the letter you must type is highlighted in bold type.
Note
In cases where you can select from more than one keyword beginning with the
same letter, type the first uppercase letter of the desired keyword. For
example, type O to select On and F to select oFF.
Enter qualifier keywords in the same way as command keywords. Qualifiers
provide the debugger with information on how to execute the command.
Qualifiers are normally single words that immediately follow the command
name. For example, in the command:
Program Find_Source Next Backward
the qualifier Backward causes the debugger to search the file from the current
position in the file towards the beginning of the file for a specified string.
Type parameters in their entirety from the keyboard. Parameters must be
separated from the command or qualifier keyword by at least one space.
Parameters describe the object of the command and are typically C expressions
that represent values or addresses used by the command. For example, in the
command:
Expression Display_Value &system_is_running
the parameter &system_is_running specifies the address of the variable
system_is_running.
