This chapter describes the debugger target managers, which perform all operations that depend on the target hardware, operating system, or run-time environment.

On HP-UX systems, the HP-UX PA-RISC target manager is installed. On Solaris systems, the Solaris SPARC target manager is installed.

This chapter provides the following information about each manager:

Type Name

Identifies the name used for the manager as installed.

Title

Contains the name that the manager uses to identify itself. To list the titles of the managers currently loaded, use the version command. The following is an example of the output:

dde, version 4.0
User interface manager ui_gui: GUI-Mode UI, version 4.0
Target manager tgt_hpux_pa: HP-UX PA-RISC, version 4.0 DBGK 4.0
Object manager obj_som_som: HP SOM, version 4.0
Language manager lang_c: ANSI C, version 4.0

In the output of the preceding version command, the target manager title is HP-UX PA-RISC. The target type name is tgt_hpux_pa.

Description

Briefly describes what the manager does and does not support.

Syntax

Describes the syntax of debugger command arguments such as expression, declaration, and address that vary among the managers. The manager_option argument represents options you can specify with the property flags command to change the behavior of the manager.

You can create a new synonym for a target type name by creating a link to the target type name in the directory /opt/langtools/dde/tgt. For example, to make hppa a valid target type, enter the following commands (as superuser):

cd /opt/langtools/dde/tgt ln -s tgt_hpux_pa hppa
Startup File

Describes the startup file that executes when the debugger loads the manager.
