Setting Debugging Options

If you use dbx primarily in the Dbx Commands window in Sun WorkShop Debugging, you can and should set most dbx environment variables using the Debugging Options dialog box (see the Using Sun WorkShop manual and the "Customizing Your Debugging Environment" section in the Sun WorkShop online help).

When you set debugging options using the Debugging Options dialog box, the dbxenv commands for the corresponding environment variables are stored in the Sun WorkShop configuration file .workshoprc. When you start to debug a program in the Sun WorkShop Debugging window, any settings in your .dbxrc file that conflict with those in your .workshoprc take precedence.
