.SH NAME

\- set kernel debugging output options

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
#include <gno/gno.h>
|
||
|
|
.sp 1
|
||
|
|
int
|
||
|
|
\fBsetdebug\fR(int \fIoptions\fR);
|

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.BR setdebug
|
||
|
|
enables and disables various debugging routines built into the kernel.
|
||
|
|
The routines display useful debugging information to standard error (except
|
||
|
|
for
|
||
|
|
.BR dbgSIG ,
|
||
|
|
see BUGS). Debug output is enabled by setting the corresponding bit in
|
||
|
|
.IR options ,
|
||
|
|
according to the following table. To turn off all debugging output,
|
||
|
|
.IR options
|
||
|
|
should be set to zero. The various debug options are #defined in
|
||
|
|
<gno/gno.h>.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fBdbgGSOS\fR
|
||
|
|
When this bit is set, call numbers will be printed out for any GS/OS
|
||
|
|
or ORCA/Shell calls that are made.
|
||
|
|
The number is printed in hexadecimal format and is prefixed with a '$'
|
||
|
|
character. For this and the other GS/OS call debug options, the entire
|
||
|
|
call sequence is enclosed in parenthesis '()' to ease tracing multiple
|
||
|
|
levels of calls.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fBdbgPATH\fR
|
||
|
|
If this flag is set, every time a filename argument to a GS/OS or shell
|
||
|
|
call is fully expanded the expanded version is displayed as follows:
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
EP: <fullpath>
|
||
|
|
.fi
|
||
|
|
.IP \fBdbgERROR\fR
|
||
|
|
For every GS/OS call that is made, if an error occurs the error code is
|
||
|
|
printed in inverse lettering in hexadecimal format. The code is prefixed
|
||
|
|
with a '#' to distinguish the error code from a call code on terminals
|
||
|
|
that do not support inverse mode. If no error occurs on the call, no code
|
||
|
|
is printed. This option has no effect unless
|
||
|
|
.BR dbgGSOS
|
||
|
|
is also enabled.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fBdbgSIG\fR
|
||
|
|
This flag enables signal tracing. Each time a signal is sent, whether by
|
||
|
|
.BR kill (2),
|
||
|
|
job control, or keyboard, the signal number and target process is displayed.
|
||
|
|
The format is:
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
kill (-\fIsignum\fR): \fIpid\fR: \fItpid\fR
|
||
|
|
.fi
|
||
|
|
.IP \fBdbgSYSCALL\fR
|
||
|
|
The parameter lists to common system calls are displayed by this option
|
||
|
|
flag. The actual format of the output varies from call to call. The calls
|
||
|
|
that currently support this flag are
|
||
|
|
.BR _execve (2),
|
||
|
|
.BR fork (2),
|
||
|
|
.BR settpgrp (2),
|
||
|
|
.BR tcnewpgrp (2),
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.BR tctpgrp (2).
|
||
|
|
.IP \fBdbgPBLOCK\fR
|
||
|
|
The memory addresses of GS/OS and ORCA/Shell parameter parameter blocks
|
||
|
|
are printed for each call. As with
|
||
|
|
.BR dbgERROR ,
|
||
|
|
this option has no effect unless
|
||
|
|
.BR dbgGSOS
|
||
|
|
is also enabled.
|
||
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
.BR setdebug
|
||
|
|
returns the previous value of the debug
|
||
|
|
.IR options
|
||
|
|
word.
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
Due to problems associated with signals that are sent during process
|
||
|
|
termination,
|
||
|
|
.BR dgbSIG
|
||
|
|
prints its information to standard output instead of standard error.
