Command Usage Guidelines for C Programmers
Command Usage Guidelines for C
Programmers
Guidelines for C programmers using Inspect are arranged alphabetically by Inspect
command name. Not all commands are listed.
BREAK

A breakpoint set at the entry point to a function will occur before any initialization.
If you set a breakpoint at an entry point, you should enter a STEP 1 STATEMENT
command when Inspect stops there.
DISPLAY

The default for numeric value conversion in C, both for input and output, is
DECIMAL. If you want to use DISPLAY for a quick calculation when you are in a C
environment, and you want to enter octal numbers, you must either prepare for it
with a SET RADIX OCTAL command or preface each octal value with a leading
zero.
HELP

You can ask for help on the definitions of Inspect command parameters. Therefore,
you can find out what Inspect recognizes as a C data location, a C code location,
or a C expression.
INFO IDENTIFIER

In addition to providing attribute information for code and data locations, Inspect
can provide information about macros made using #define. When you request
the attributes of a macro, Inspect displays the replacement text associated with the
macro.
INFO OPENS

C programs begin execution with these three files already open:
stdin Standard input
stdout Standard output
stderr Standard error
These files are part of the run-time environment for C.
