Command pane

The Command pane has two parts:

• the Transcript area, and

• the Command Line.

The Transcript area displays the history of the debugging session as it affects the Command pane's window set. This includes:

• Event announcements for processes and threads belonging to this window set,

• The output of any commands associated with those events,

• The processes' output, if the output is captured, (see ``Create''), and

• The output of any commands typed in the Command Line.

You may type commands in the Command Line as if you were using the debugger's command line interface. Pressing <Return> will cause the command line to be executed. The command, and its output, will be displayed in the Transcript area. See the manual page (debug(CP)) for a description of the commands available.

Any command or block of commands may be suffixed with a '>' and a filename. This has the effect of redirecting the output of the command into the file instead of displaying the output in the Transcript area. You may also use ">> filename", which appends the output to the file, rather than replacing its current contents, if any. The graphical debugger does not, however, allow the output of a command to be piped into another UNIX System shell command.
