/sys$common/syshlp/DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  SHOW  ABORT_KEY
    Identifies the Ctrl-key sequence currently defined to abort
    the execution of a debugger command or to interrupt program
    execution.

                                   NOTE

       This command is not available in the VSI DECwindows Motif for
       OpenVMS user interface to the debugger.

    Format

      SHOW ABORT_KEY

1  –  Description

    By default, the Ctrl/C sequence, when entered within a debugging
    session, aborts the execution of a debugger command and
    interrupts program execution. The SET ABORT_KEY command enables
    you to assign the abort function to another Ctrl-key sequence.
    The SHOW ABORT_KEY command identifies the Ctrl-key sequence
    currently in effect for the abort function.

    Related commands:

       Ctrl/C
       SET ABORT_KEY

2  –  Example

  DBG> SHOW ABORT_KEY
  Abort Command Key is CTRL_C
  DBG> SET ABORT_KEY = CTRL_P
  DBG> SHOW ABORT_KEY
  Abort Command Key is CTRL_P
  DBG>

      In this example, the first SHOW ABORT_KEY command identifies
      the default abort command key sequence, Ctrl/C. The SET ABORT_
      KEY = CTRL_P command assigns the abort-command function to
      Ctrl/P, as confirmed by the second SHOW ABORT_KEY command.
