Start-up Files

Upon invocation of the debugger, a command file containing debugger commands is automatically executed, if present. The debugger searches for this file in the following locations in the given order:

  1. In the file specified by the environment variable CODEWATCH_INIT.
  2. In the file .codewatch in the user's current directory.
  3. In the file .codewatch in the user's home directory.

As soon as one of these files is found, the debugger commands contained within it are executed, after which normal interactive debugging may continue. It is not required that a start-up file exist.
