adb
- general-purpose debugger
Synopsis
adb [-kw] [-I dir] [-P prompt] [-V mode] [object [core]]
Description
The adb utility is an interactive, general-purpose debugger. It can be used
to examine files and provides a controlled environment for the execution of programs.
The adb utility is now implemented as a link to the mdb(1)
utility. mdb(1) is a low-level debugging utility that can be used to examine
user processes as well as the live operating system or operating system
crash dumps. The new mdb(1) utility provides complete backwards compatibility with the
existing syntax and features of adb, including support for processing adb macro files.
The Oracle Solaris Modular Debugger Guide and mdb(1) man page describes the features of mdb, including its
adb compatibility mode. This mode will be activated by default when the
adb link is executed.
