To invoke the debugger, enter the dde
command in a shell process window. For detailed information on the
dde command and
its options, refer to the dde(1) man
page.
When you invoke the debugger, it first executes a user interface
startup file. Then, it executes any commands specified with the
-do option. For
example, the following command line specifies where the debugger
should search for source files:
$ dde -do "property sdir ~/src" |
Next, the debugger executes startup command files, including
your personal startup file if you have created one. See “Using Startup Command Files ” for more information
on startup files.
When you invoke the debugger, the debugger's main window appears
(see Figure 1-1 “Debugger Main Window”).

 | NOTE: Starting the debugger from the command line is not supported
on Solaris systems. See the softdebug(1)
man page for information on starting the debugger. |

Setting PATH and MANPATH Variables |
|
You must have the /opt/langtools/bin
directory in your PATH
in order to use the dde
command. If you have /usr/softbench/bin
in your PATH,
/opt/langtools/bin
must precede it.
You must have the /opt/langtools/share/man
directory in your MANPATH
to access the dde(1) man page.
Stopping the Debugger |
|
To stop and exit the debugger, choose File:Quit
from the menu bar or enter the quit
command.
If a target program is running, the debugger kills it. However,
if the target program is an attached process (see “Attaching the Debugger to
a Running Process ”), the debugger
frees it.
