Use the debug console to issue commands to the debug engine.
With the console you can view output from the engine and see the results
of commands that you have issued. This information describes how to
use the actions available in the debug console.
Procedure
- Issue commands. To issue a command to the engine,
enter it in the Debug Console Debug Engine Command field.
When you enter commands into this field, they are added in the right-hand
pane of the console to the list of commands that you have already
issued. This list of commands can be reordered by dragging a command
to another position. To delete a command, right-click a command and
to see the menu options or use the buttons at the top of the console.
To save the command list for later use, you can export it to a file
and then import it for other debug sessions. To reissue a command
in the list, double-click it.
- Build scripts. The Debug console can be helpful
in building scripts that allow you to put the program that you are
debugging in a known state. In the Debug Engine Command field,
type echo on. After you issue this command, each
action that you perform in the debugger will display as a command
in the view. You can copy these commands and use them for building
scripts.
- Display a list of available commands. Use the help command
to display a list of the commands that you can issue to the debug
engine from the Debug Console.
