adb

adb(1)                                                             User Commands                                                            adb(1)

NAME

       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 in Solaris 9. 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 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.
