Help for Tcl Commands
To display help for the symbol command, symbol-file command:
Help for Tcl Commands
To display help for Tcl commands, enter the Tcl help command:
(eInspect 3,301): tcl help
These Native Inspect commands are implemented as Tcl scripts:
a comment du list reg
base d eq modify
To display help for commands implemented in Tcl, use the Tcl help command:
Note that Tcl commands are case-sensitive, while Native Inspect native commands are
not case-sensitive.
hold command
Suspends the current process (if it is executing) so that you can perform debugging
operations on the process.
The hold command issues a PROCESS_DEBUG_ request on the current process.
After the current process is in the Hold state, Native Inspect redisplays its command
prompt.
(eInspect 3,-2): help symbol
Load symbol table from executable file FILE.
The `file' command can also load symbol tables, as well as setting the
file to execute.
(eInspect 3,-2):tcl help eq
SYNTAX
eq <expr>
DESCRIPTION
Evaluate the expression and display the result in different formats.
EXAMPLES
(eGarth): eq 01234
(eGarth): eq 01234 + 0x4 << 1
(eGarth): eq (01234 + 0x4) * 100
(eInspect 3,-2):
hold
