| [9] | 1 | README for mdb version 2.6.0 | 
|---|

|  | 3 | Sept 9/96 | 
|---|
|  | 4 |  | 
|---|
|  | 5 | Please note the following: | 
|---|
|  | 6 |  | 
|---|
|  | 7 | 1) Has been tested with Minix 1.7.4 (32-bit version). | 
|---|
|  | 8 | A previous version was tested with Minix 1.7.x (16 bit version). | 
|---|
|  | 9 | Some optional parts of mdb have not been extensively tested. | 
|---|
|  | 10 | This is especially true on the code to trace system calls. | 
|---|
|  | 11 | See options in Makefile. | 
|---|
|  | 12 |  | 
|---|
|  | 13 | 2) I know that the commands are somewhat cryptic; thus | 
|---|
|  | 14 | there are currently two types of 'help' for mdb | 
|---|
|  | 15 | a) the "?" gives a help page. | 
|---|
|  | 16 | b) typing "command ?" will give help on a specific command. | 
|---|
|  | 17 |  | 
|---|
|  | 18 | 3) The sample comand file and log output. | 
|---|
|  | 19 | To test this, type something like the following | 
|---|
|  | 20 | "mdb -llog.new /usr/bin/sleep @sample" | 
|---|
|  | 21 | The output "log.new' should be similar to the distributed "log" file; | 
|---|
|  | 22 | but not necessarily exactly the same. | 
|---|
|  | 23 |  | 
|---|
|  | 24 | 4) Man pages need some more work. | 
|---|
|  | 25 |  | 
|---|
|  | 26 | 5) See top part of mdb.c for version history. |
