This directory contains source code to the rdb debugger. This debugger
is distributed as an example client of the librtld_db.so.1 interface.
As well as offering examples of the proper calling sequence for the
librtld_db.so.1 interface rdb also offers a sample implementation of the
proc_services (/usr/include/proc_service.h) that rdb is dependent upon.
The following is an overview of the directory structure and highlight
of some of the important files contained within:
rdb.man - man page for the rdb debugger
Makefile.com
Makefile.targ - common Makefiles included by ${MACH)/Makefile
common/* - common source code used for all architectures
sparc/
sparcv9/
i386/ - contains architecture specific source files and also
acts as the build directory
sparc/Makefile
sparcv9/Makefile
i386/Makefile - makefiles to build rdb for each architecture
test/* - sample command files which can be used to test rdb
Building rdb
------------
Before attempting to build the rdb debugger be sure that you have
installed the Solaris Developer Cluster and a C compiler (purchased
serpartly) onto your system.
To build rdb:
% cd {sparc,sparcv9,i386} - depending on which architecture you are building for
% make all
To test the demo:
% make test
