Qualifiers

/ALL

Displays all key definitions for the current state, by default, or for the states specified with /STATE.

/BRIEF

Displays only the key definitions (by default, all qualifiers associated with a key definition are also shown, including any specified state).

/DIRECTORY

Displays the names of all the states for which keys have been defined. Do not specify other qualifiers with this qualifier.

/STATE=(state-name [,...])

/NOSTATE (default)

Selects one or more states for which a key definition is displayed. The /STATE qualifier displays key definitions for the specified states. You can specify predefined key states, such as DEFAULT and GOLD, or user-defined states. A state name can be any appropriate alphanumeric string. The /NOSTATE qualifier displays key definitions for the current state only.

Description

Keypad mode must be enabled (SET MODE KEYPAD) before you can use this command. Keypad mode is enabled by default.

By default, the current key state is the DEFAULT state. You can change the current state by using the SET KEY/STATE command or by pressing a key that causes a state change (that is, a key that was defined with DEFINE/KEY/LOCK_STATE or /SET_STATE).

Examples

DBG> SHOW KEY/ALL
      

This command displays all the key definitions for the current state.

DBG> SHOW KEY/STATE=BLUE KP8
GOLD keypad definitions: 
  KP8 = "Scroll/Top" (noecho,terminate,nolock)
DBG>
      

This command displays the definition for keypad key 8 in the BLUE state.

DBG> SHOW KEY/BRIEF KP8
DEFAULT keypad definitions: 
  KP8 = "Scroll/Up"
DBG>
      

This command displays the definition for keypad key 8 in the current state.

DBG>
      

This command displays the names of the states for which keys have been defined.

Identifies the current language.

Format

SHOW LANGUAGE

Description

The current language is the language last established with the SET LANGUAGE command. If you did not enter a SET LANGUAGE command, the current language is, by default, the language of the module containing the main program.

Related command:

SET LANGUAGE

Example

DBG> SHOW LANGUAGE
language: BASIC
DBG>
      

This command displays the name of the current language as BASIC.

Indicates whether the debugger is writing to a log file and identifies the current log file.

Format

SHOW LOG

Description

The current log file is the log file last established by a SET LOG command. By default, if you did not enter a SET LOG command, the current log file is the file SYS$DISK:[]DEBUG.LOG.

Related commands:

SET LOG
SET OUTPUT [NO]LOG
SET OUTPUT [NO]SCREEN_LOG

Examples

DBG> SHOW LOG
not logging to DEBUG.LOG
DBG>
      

This command displays the name of the current log file as DEBUG.LOG (the default log file) and reports that the debugger is not writing to it.

DBG> SET LOG PROG4
DBG> SET OUTPUT LOG
DBG> SHOW LOG
logging to USER$:[JONES.WORK]PROG4.LOG
DBG>
      

In this example, the SET LOG command establishes that the current log file is PROG4.LOG (in the current default directory). The SET OUTPUT LOG command causes the debugger to log debugger input and output into that file. The SHOW LOG command confirms that the debugger is writing to the log file PROG4.COM in your current default directory.

Identifies the current source-line margin settings for displaying source code.

Note This command is not available in the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS user interface to the debugger.

Format

SHOW MARGINS

Description

The current margin settings are the margin settings last established with the SET MARGINS command. By default, if you did not enter a SET MARGINS command, the left margin is set to 1 and the right margin is set to 255.

Related command:

SET MARGINS

Examples

DBG> SHOW MARGINS
left margin: 1 , right margin: 255
DBG>
      

This command displays the default margin settings of 1 and 255.

DBG> SET MARGINS 50
DBG> SHOW MARGINS
left margin: 1 , right margin: 50
DBG>
      

This command displays the default left margin setting of 1 and the modified right margin setting of 50.

DBG> SET MARGINS 10:60
DBG> SHOW MARGINS
left margin: 10 , right margin: 60
DBG>
      

This command displays both margin settings modified to 10 and 60.

Identifies the current debugger modes (screen or no screen, keypad or nokeypad, and so on) and the current radix.

Format

SHOW MODE

Description

The current debugger modes are the modes last established with the SET MODE command. By default, if you did not enter a SET MODE command, the current modes are the following:

DYNAMIC
NOG_FLOAT (D_float)
INTERRUPT
KEYPAD
LINE
NOSCREEN
SCROLL
NOSEPARATE
SYMBOLIC

Related commands:

(SET,CANCEL) MODE
(SET,SHOW,CANCEL) RADIX

Example

DBG> SHOW MODE
modes: symbolic, line, d_float, screen, scroll, keypad, 
       dynamic, interrupt, no separate window 
input radix :decimal 
output radix:decimal
DBG>
      

The SHOW MODE command displays the current modes and current input and output radix.

Displays information about the modules in the current image.

Format

SHOW MODULE [module-name]

Parameters

module-name

Specifies the name of a module to be included in the display. If you do not specify a name, or if you specify the asterisk (*) wildcard character by itself, all modules are listed. You can use a wildcard within a module name. Shareable image modules are selected only if you specify /SHARE.

Qualifiers

/RELATED

/NORELATED (default)

(Applies to Ada programs.) Controls whether the debugger includes, in the SHOW MODULE display, any module that is related to a specified module through a with-clause or subunit relationship.

The SHOW MODULE/RELATED command displays related modules as well as those specified. The display identifies the exact relationship. By default (/NORELATED), no related modules are selected for display (only the modules specified are selected).

/SHARE

/NOSHARE (default)

Controls whether the debugger includes, in the SHOW MODULE display, any shareable images that have been linked with your program. By default (/NOSHARE) no shareable image modules are selected for display.

The debugger creates dummy modules for each shareable image in your program. The names of these shareable "image modules" have the prefix SHARE$. The SHOW MODULE/SHARE command identifies these shareable image modules, as well as the modules in the current image.

Setting a shareable image module loads the universal symbols for that image into the run-time symbol table so that you can reference these symbols from the current image. However, you cannot reference other (local or global) symbols in that image from the current image. This feature overlaps the effect of the newer SET IMAGE and SHOW IMAGE commands.

Description

The SHOW MODULE command displays the following information about one or more modules selected for display:

• Name of the module
• Programming language in which the module is coded, unless all modules are coded in the same language
• Whether the module has been set with the SET MODULE command. That is, whether the symbol records of the module have been loaded into the debugger's run-time symbol table (RST)
• Space (in bytes) required in the RST for symbol records in that module
• Total number of modules selected in the display
• Number of bytes allocated for the RST and other internal structures (the amount of heap space in use in the main debugger's process)

Note The current image is either the main image (by default) or the image established as the current image by a previous SET IMAGE command.

Examples

DBG> SHOW MODULE
module name           symbols   size 
 
TEST                  yes       432 
SCREEN_IO             no        280 
 
total PASCAL modules: 2.    bytes allocated: 2740.
DBG>
      

In this example, the SHOW MODULE command, without a parameter, displays information about all of the modules in the current image, which is the main image by default. This example shows the display format when all modules have the same source language. The symbols column shows that module TEST has been set, but module SCREEN_IO has not.

DBG> SHOW MODULE FOO,MAIN,SUB*
module name           symbols   language   size 
 
FOO                   yes       MACRO      432 
MAIN                  no        FORTRAN    280 
SUB1                  no        FORTRAN    164 
SUB2                  no        FORTRAN    204 
 
total modules: 4.     bytes allocated: 60720.
DBG>
      

In this example, the SHOW MODULE command displays information about the modules FOO and MAIN, and all modules having the prefix SUB. This example shows the display format when the modules do not have the same source language.

DBG> SHOW MODULE/SHARE
module name           symbols   language   size 
 
FOO                   yes       MACRO       432

    ...
SHARE$DEBUG           no        Image         0 
SHARE$LIBRTL          no        Image         0 
SHARE$MTHRTL          no        Image         0 
SHARE$SHARE1          no        Image         0 
SHARE$SHARE2          no        Image         0 
 
total modules: 17.     bytes allocated: 162280.
DBG> SET MODULE SHARE$SHARE2
DBG> SHOW SYMBOL * IN SHARE$SHARE2
      

In this example, the SHOW MODULE/SHARE command identifies all of the modules in the current image and all of the shareable images (the names of the shareable images are prefixed with SHARE$. The SET MODULE SHARE$SHARE2 command sets the shareable image module SHARE$SHARE2. The SHOW SYMBOL command identifies any universal symbols defined in the shareable image SHARE2.

Identifies the current output options.

Format

SHOW OUTPUT

Description

The current output options are the options last established with the SET OUTPUT command. By default, if you did not enter a SET OUTPUT command, the output options are: NOLOG, NOSCREEN_LOG, TERMINAL, NOVERIFY.

Related commands:

SET LOG
SET MODE SCREEN
SET OUTPUT

Example

DBG> SHOW OUTPUT
noverify, terminal, screen_log, 
    logging to USER$:[JONES.WORK]DEBUG.LOG;9
DBG>
      

This command shows the following current output options:

• Debugger commands read from debugger command procedures are not echoed on the terminal.
• Debugger output is being displayed on the terminal.
• The debugging session is being logged to the log file USER$:[JONES.WORK]DEBUG.LOG;9.
• The screen contents are logged as they are updated in screen mode.

Displays information about processes that are currently under debugger control.

Format

SHOW PROCESS [process-spec[,...]]

Parameters

process-spec

Specifies a process currently under debugger control. Use any of the following forms:

[%PROCESS_NAME] process-name	The process name, if that name does not contain spaces or lowercase characters. The process name can include the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
[%PROCESS_NAME] " process-name "	The process name, if that name contains spaces or lowercase characters. You can also use apostrophes (') instead of quotation marks (").
%PROCESS_PID process_id	The process identifier (PID, a hexadecimal number).
[%PROCESS_NUMBER] process-number (or %PROC process-number)	The number assigned to a process when it comes under debugger control. A new number is assigned sequentially, starting with 1, to each process. If a process is terminated with the EXIT or QUIT command, the number can be assigned again during the debugging session. Process numbers appear in a SHOW PROCESS display. Processes are ordered in a circular list so they can be indexed with the built-in symbols %PREVIOUS_PROCESS and %NEXT_PROCESS.
process-set-name	A symbol defined with the DEFINE/PROCESS_SET command to represent a group of processes.
%NEXT_PROCESS	The next process after the visible process in the debugger's circular process list.
%PREVIOUS_PROCESS	The process previous to the visible process in the debugger's circular process list.
%VISIBLE_PROCESS	The process whose stack, register set, and images are the current context for looking up symbols, register values, routine calls, breakpoints, and so on.

You can also use the asterisk (*) wildcard character or the /ALL qualifier to specify all processes. Do not specify a process with /ALL or /DYNAMIC. If you do not specify a process or /ALL with /BRIEF, /FULL, or /[NO]HOLD, the visible process is selected.

Qualifiers

/ALL

Selects all processes known to the debugger for display.

/BRIEF

(Default) Displays only one line of information for each process selected for display.

/DYNAMIC

Shows whether dynamic process setting is enabled or disabled. Dynamic process setting is enabled by default and is controlled with the SET PROCESS/[NO]DYNAMIC command.

/FULL

Displays maximum information for each process selected for display.

/VISIBLE

(Default). Selects the visible process for display.

Description

The SHOW PROCESS command displays information about specified processes and any images running in those processes.

The SHOW PROCESS/FULL command also displays information about the availability and use of the vector processor. This information is useful if you are debugging a program that uses vector instructions.

A process can first appear in a SHOW PROCESS display as soon as it comes under debugger control. A process can no longer appear in a SHOW PROCESS display if it is terminated through an EXIT or QUIT command.

By default (/BRIEF), one line of information is displayed for each process, including the following:

• The process number assigned by the debugger. A process number is assigned sequentially, starting with process 1, to each process that comes under debugger control. If a process is terminated by an EXIT or QUIT command, its process number is not reused during that debugging session. The visible process is marked with an asterisk (*) in the leftmost column.
• The process name.
• The current debugging state for that process. (See Table DEBUG-1.)
• The location (symbolized, if possible) at which execution of the image is suspended in that process.

Table DEBUG-1 Debugging States

State	Description
Activated	The image and its process have just been brought under debugger control.
Break Break on branch Break on call Break on instruction Break on lines Break on modify of Break on return Exception break Exception break preceding	A breakpoint was triggered.
Interrupted	Execution was interrupted in that process, either because execution was suspended in another process, or because the user interrupted program execution with the abort-key sequence (by default, Ctrl/C).
Step Step on return	A STEP command has completed.
Terminated	The image indicated has terminated execution but the process is still under debugger control. Therefore, you can obtain information about the image and its process. You can use the EXIT or QUIT command to terminate the process.
Trace Trace on branch Trace on call Trace on instruction Trace on lines Trace on modify of Trace on return Exception trace Exception trace preceding	A tracepoint was triggered.
Unhandled exception	An unhandled exception was encountered.
Watch of	A watchpoint was triggered.

The SHOW PROCESS/FULL command gives additional information about processes (see the examples).
