1 README for mdb version 2.6.0
5 Please note the following:
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.
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.
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.
24 4) Man pages need some more work.
26 5) See top part of mdb.c for version history.
