Sun Studio 12 Update 1: Debugging a Program With dbx

Quitting dbx

A dbx session runs from the time you start dbx until you quit dbx; you can debug any number of programs in succession during a dbx session.

To quit a dbx session, type quit at the dbx prompt.


(dbx) quit

When you start dbx and attach it to a running process using the process_id option, the process survives and continues when you quit the debugging session. dbx performs an implicit detach before quitting the session.

For more information about quitting dbx, see Quitting Debugging.
