Chapter 12: Debugger Commands
Debugger Host_Shell
Debugger Host_Shell
The Debugger Host_Shell command enables you to temporarily leave the
debugging environment by forking an operating system shell or to execute a
single UNIX operating system command from within the debugger. The type
of shell forked is based on the shell variable SHELL. In this mode, you may
enter operating-system commands. To return to the debugger, enter CTRL D
or type exit and press the Return key.
You can execute operating system commands from within the debugger by
entering a single operating system command with the debugger Debugger
Host_Shell command. If you are using the graphical interface, the
operating system command is executed in a "cmdscript" window. Press
< Return> to close the window. If you are using the standard interface, stdout
from the command is written to the Journal window and stderr is not
captured. Commands writing to stderr will corrupt the display. Interactive
commands cannot be used in this mode.
The following options are available only in the graphical user interface:
