dir command
dir command
Appends a specified directory to the search path that Native Inspect uses to locate
source files. The directory search path is shared by all programs that are currently
being debugged by Native Inspect.
You typically use the dir command to help Native Inspect find source files when their
current location differs from the location at which they were compiled, but their base file
name remains the same. You use the related map-source-name command to specify
base file name changes between compilation and debugging.
If you do not specify a directory, the search path is reset to empty (that is, Native
Inspect searches for source files only in the directory from which the source file was
compiled).
directory
is the name of a local NonStop subvolume ($volume.subvolume) that you want to
append to the search path for source files.
Related Commands: list command, map-source-name command, show command
with the directories option
Example
To set a source subvolume search path and display the current subvolume search path
($cdir represents the compilation directory, and $cwd represents the current working
directory):
dir [ directory ]
(eInspect 5,855):dir $d0117.test
Source directories searched: $d0117.test:$cdir:$cwd
(eInspect 5,855):dir $d0117.kris
Source directories searched: $d0117.kris:$d0117.test:$cdir:$cwd
(eInspect 5,855):show directories
Source directories searched: $d0117.kris:$d0117.test:$cdir:$cwd
(eInspect 5,855):
