Examining Save Files
Figure 4-4 highlights the components involved when examining save files.
The Inspect process provides all the necessary services when you are examining a
save file; neither IMON nor DMON is involved.
To start examining a save file, enter the command interpreter Inspect command:
When the Inspect session starts, Inspect displays its banner line and then issues an
Inspect prompt. To retrieve a save file for examination, enter an ADD PROGRAM
command specifying the name of the save file. Inspect reads the file from disk and
delivers a status line showing the state of the process when the save file was created.
You can then examine the values of variables, display the call history, or view source
files. The Inspect commands that you cannot use when examining a save file are:
BREAK
CLEAR
HOLD
MODIFY
