<H1>The Console Window</H1>
 | 
			
		||||
<H3>Overview</H3>
 | 
			
		||||
<P>The Console Window is perhaps the most powerful tool in the debugger. It
 | 
			
		||||
provides functionality equivalent to almost all of the debugger's secondary
 | 
			
		||||
windows, macro definitions, and other more advanced features.</P>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<P>Console Window topics:
 | 
			
		||||
<UL>
 | 
			
		||||
    <LI><UL><A HREF="#display">Console Display</A>
 | 
			
		||||
            <LI><A HREF="#display_cmd">Executing Commands</A>
 | 
			
		||||
            <LI><A HREF="#display_hlp">Getting Help</A>
 | 
			
		||||
        </UL>
 | 
			
		||||
</UL></P>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<H3><A NAME="display">Console Display</A></H3>
 | 
			
		||||
The Console Display is simply a scrolled window in which the debugger prompt
 | 
			
		||||
appears. By default, the prompt is set to "(gdb) ", but it may be changed via a
 | 
			
		||||
command line option.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<P>To <A NAME="display_cmd">execute commands</A> in the console window, simply enter
 | 
			
		||||
the command in the display. If the debugger is busy, the message "Error: The
 | 
			
		||||
debugger is busy." appears informing the user that the command was not accepted.</P>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<P>Whenever a command is executed, the debugger's windows will update to display
 | 
			
		||||
any new state information. Any output from the command is also echoed to the Console
 | 
			
		||||
Window for ease of use. If an error occurs, an error message is printed to the Console
 | 
			
		||||
Window. All error messages appear in the Console Window using a red colored typeface.
 | 
			
		||||
</P>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<P>The Console Window responds to special character commands just as a shell window
 | 
			
		||||
does: it has a history mechanism which allows the user to scan previously used commands
 | 
			
		||||
by pressing the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard, jumping to the beginning or
 | 
			
		||||
end of a line by entering Ctrl-A or Ctrl-E, erasing a line by pressing Ctrl-K, and
 | 
			
		||||
more. Users familiar with GNU Emacs will recognize these keys as commonly used
 | 
			
		||||
keystrokes from that editor.</P>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<H3><A NAME="display_hlp">Getting Help</A></H3>
 | 
			
		||||
The Console Window has its own online help system. To access the help system, enter
 | 
			
		||||
"help" at the prompt and follow the on-screen instructions. For more help, please
 | 
			
		||||
consult the <!-- What is this really called? --> <I>GDB User's Guide</I>.
