Qualifiers

 

/FULL
   On VAX and Alpha systems, displays all known information about the 
   failing process.
 

/IMAGE
      /IMAGE=image-name
      /NOIMAGE

   On VAX systems, specifies the image to be activated to set up the 
   process context for the analysis. If you use the /NOIMAGE qualifier, 
   the DELTA debugger will be used for the analysis. 

   By default, symbols are taken from the image with the same name as 
   the image that was running at the time of the dump.


/IMAGE_PATH
     /IMAGE_PATH[=directory-spec] dump-file
     /NOIMAGE_PATH

   On Alpha systems, specifies the search path the debugger is to use 
   to find the debugger symbol table (DST) file.  As in prior debuggers, 
   the debugger builds an image list from the saved process image list.  
   When you set an image (the main image is automatically set), the 
   debugger attempts to open that image in order to find the DST file.

   If you include the /IMAGE_PATH=directory-spec qualifier, the
   debugger searches for the DST file in the specified directory.  
   The debugger first tries to translate directory-spec as the logical
   name of a directory search list.  If that fails, the debugger 
   interprets directory-spec as a directory specification, and searches 
   that directory for matching .DSF or .EXE files.  A .DSF file takes 
   precedence over an .EXE file.  The name of the .DSF or .EXE file 
   must match the image.

   If you do not include the /IMAGE_PATH=directory-spec qualifier,
   the debugger looks for the DST file first in the directory that 
   contains the dump file.  If that fails, the debugger searches 
   directory SYS$SHARE and then directory SYS$MESSAGE.  If the debugger 
   fails to find a DST file for an image, the symbolic information 
   available to the debugger is limited to global and universal symbol 
   names.

   Version 7.3 and later debuggers check for dumpfile image specification 
   and DST file link date-time mismatches and issue a warning if one is
   discovered.

   The dump-file parameter is the name of the process dump file to
   be analyzed.  Note that the process dump file file type must be .DMP 
   and the DST file type must be either .DSF or .EXE.

                            Restrictions

       You cannot use a logical to redirect the search for an image
       and use the /IMAGE_PATH qualifier at the same time.  If you
       use the /IMAGE_PATH qualifier, then all images that are not
       in their original locations must be found through that path.
       Individual image logicals (for example, the "SH" in "DEFINE
       SH SYS$LOGIN:SH.EXE") are not processed. 

       Additionally, you cannot input a directory search path
       directly to the /IMAGE_PATH qualifier, as it does not
       process a directory list separated by commas; however, you
       can specify a logical that translates into a directory
       search path. 


/INTERACTIVE
      /INTERACTIVE
      /NOINTERACTIVE (default)

   On VAX systems, causes the display of information to pause when your 
   terminal screen is filled. Press Return to display additional
   information.  By default, the display is continuous.
 

/MISCELLANEOUS
   On VAX systems, displays process information and registers at the 
   time of the dump.  Refer to the $GETJPI system service for further 
   explanation of the process information displayed.


/RELOCATION
   On VAX systems, displays the addresses to which data structures saved 
   in the dump are mapped in P0 space. (Examples of such data structures 
   are the stacks.) The data structures in the dump must be mapped into P0
   space so that the debugger can use those data structures in P1 space.
