About This Guide
• Mutually exclusive arguments to a command are enclosed in braces
({ ... }) and separated by a pipe character (|). In the first example below,
you can provide either an activation level or a procedure name as an
argument to the command. In the second example, because the
argument choices are enclosed in square brackets, you can use either
the call or return argument, or omit an argument to the command:
func { activation_level | procedure }
syscall catch [{ call | return }]
• File and directory names appear in italics. For example:
You can put any dbx command in the .dbxinit file.
• New terms appear in italics. For example:
Each procedure on the stack defines an activation level.
