| 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.
