A debugger command is made up of one or two keywords. The debugger command line contains a debugger command and optional or required arguments, depending on the command.
In the general format for the command-line, optional items are enclosed in oversized, square brackets. Note that the regular-sized square brackets in the action-list argument are required delimiters.
The general command-line format is as follows:
command [ /option ] [ argument ] [[action-list]]
where:
| command | Names the specific debugger action to be performed. |
| /option | Modifies the action of the command. |
| argument | Supplies required or optional information to the command. |
| [action-list] | Lists one or more debugger commands. |
Two examples of debugger commands using special symbols follow:
BREAKPOINT 90 [EVALUATE var1; E var2]
This example sets a breakpoint at line 90. The program variables var1 and var2 will be evaluated when this breakpoint is encountered.
BREAKPOINT LABEL1 + 8; LBREAKPOINT /ALL
This example sets a breakpoint eight statements past the label LABEL1 and then lists all breakpoints.
