This chapter describes the debugger object managers,
which allow the debugger to handle object and debug formats. The
object managers process the debugging information in executable
files.
On HP-UX systems, the debugger uses the HP SOM object manager.
On Solaris systems, the debugger uses the Solaris SPARC object manager.
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 object manager title is HP SOM.
The type name is obj_som_som.
- 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 a manager.
Currently, the object managers do not offer any options through
the manager_option argument.
- Startup File
Describes the startup file that executes when the
debugger loads the manager. The object managers do not use a startup
file.
- Related Managers
