Understanding sbquery

The command-line interface to the Source Browsing mode of Sun WorkShop is sbquery.

To issue a query from the command line, type sbquery, followed by any command-line options and their arguments, followed by the symbol you want to search for:

All lines that contain symbols are displayed.

sbquery displays a list of matches that includes the file in which the symbol appears, the line number, the function containing the symbol, and the source line containing the symbol.

By default, sbquery searches for symbols in the database in the current working directory. If you want to browse a database stored in another directory, see "Controlling the Browser Database With sb_init".
