If your program has multiple symbols with the same name, you
may need to use pathnames to resolve symbol ambiguities. For
example, your program may have a variable X in procedure A,
another variable X in procedure B which is nested in procedure
A, and still another variable X in procedure C. If you specify X,
as in this example, the debugger uses symbol search conventions
(based on the PC scope) to resolve the ambiguity:
DBG> EXAMINE X
If the debugger cannot do so, it issues the following message:
%DEBUG-W-NOUNIQUE, X is not unique.
To resolve the ambiguity, you can specify which X you want by
using a pathname. For example:
DBG> EXAMINE A\X
DBG> EXAMINE A\B\X
DBG> EXAMINE C\X
