Native Inspect Manual (H06.13+, J06.03+)

switch Command
Transfers the current process to either Visual Inspect or Inspect, as appropriate:
• Transfers a TNS/E native process to Visual Inspect.
You must be running a Visual Inspect client (on Windows) connected to the NonStop system
using the same user ID as the TNS/E native process.
• Transfers a TNS process to Inspect.
switch
After you enter a switch command, Native Inspect suspends command prompting until one of
the following happens:
• The process is transferred back to Native Inspect.
• You press the Break key.
• The process terminates.
Native Inspect continues to maintain the associated state for the process until the process terminates
or is transferred back to Native Inspect.
Breakpoint attributes are not passed between debuggers. For more information, see Switching
Between Debuggers (Inspect and Visual Inspect) (page 31).
symbol-file (symbol) Command
Opens a TNS/E native code file (with file code 800) for building internal symbol tables. The new
symbol table data is added to the existing data.
• Entered with no symbol-file name, prompts you before deleting all symbol files with per-process
scope associated with the current process.
• Entered with only the -g option, prompts you before deleting all global symbol files associated
with the current process.
symbol is an alias for symbol-file.
{symbol|symbol-file} [-g] [-readnow] pathname
Where:
-g
Loads a symbol file that has global scope. Symbols are visible to all processes being debugged.
Entered without the -g option, loads a symbol file that has per-process scope. Symbols are
visible only to the current process.
If there is no current process, the added symbol file has global scope by default, and the -g
option is optional.
You can add the same file with per-process scope and global scope.
-readnow
Expands the symbol table immediately rather than incrementally as needed.
pathname
The OSS pathname or Guardian file name of the TNS/E native code file that Native Inspect
is to open.
The symbol command reads in the symbols for the specified loadfile at the corresponding
loadfile’s actual load address, if it can be determined. Otherwise, the symbols are read in at
the loadfile’s preferred load address, as determined at static link time, and recorded in the
loadfile’s header.
