|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
configures certain aspects of the
|
|
.Xr DDB 4
|
|
kernel debugger from user space that are not configured at compile-time or
|
|
easily via
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
MIB entries.
|
|
.Sh SCRIPTING
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be used to configure aspects of
|
|
.Xr DDB 4
|
|
scripting from user space; scripting support is described in more detail in
|
|
.Xr DDB 4 .
|
|
Each of the debugger commands is available from the command line:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm script Ar scriptname
|
|
Print the script named
|
|
.Ar scriptname .
|
|
.It Cm script Ar scriptname=scriptvalue
|
|
Define a script named
|
|
.Ar scriptname ;
|
|
as many scripts contain characters interpreted in special ways by the shell,
|
|
it is advisable to enclose
|
|
.Ar scriptvalue
|
|
in quotes.
|
|
.It Cm scripts
|
|
List currently defined scripts.
|
|
.It Cm unset Ar scriptname
|
|
Delete the script named
|
|
.Ar scriptname .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following example defines a script that will execute when the kernel
|
|
debugger is entered as a result of a break signal:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ddb script kdb.enter.break="show pcpu; bt"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following example will delete the script:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ddb unscript kdb.enter.break
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For further examples, see the
|
|
.Xr ddb 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr textdump 4
|
|
man pages.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
Ideally,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
would not exist, as all pertinent aspects of
|
|
.Xr ddb 4
|
|
could be configured directly via
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8 .
