.It Cm examine

.Cm examine
or
.Cm x

Display the addressed locations according to the formats in the modifier.
Multiple modifier formats display multiple locations.
If no format is specified, the last formats specified for this command
......
Execute an examine command with the last specified parameters to it
except that the last start address subtracted by the size displayed by it
is used as the start address.

If a user text is shadowed by a normal user space debugger,
user space break points may not work correctly. Setting a break
point at the low-level code paths may also cause strange behavior.

.It Cm delete Xo
.Ar addr
or
.Cm delete Li \&# Ns Ar number
or
.Cm d Ar addr
or
.Cm d Li \&# Ns Ar number
.Xc
Delete the break point. The target break point can be specified by a
break point number with
.Li # ,
......
specified in the original
.Cm break
command.
.It Cm step Ns Op Cm /p
.It Xo
.Cm step Ns Op Cm /p
or
.Cm s Ns Op Cm /p
.Xc
Single step
.Ar count
times (the comma is a mandatory part of the syntax).
......
On machines with software-emulated single-stepping (e.g., pmax),
stepping through code executed by interrupt handlers will probably
do the wrong thing.
.It Cm continue Ns Op Cm /c
.It Xo
.Cm continue Ns Op Cm /c
or
.Cm c Ns Op Cm /c
.Xc
Continue execution until a breakpoint or watchpoint.
If the
.Li c
......
modifier is specified, print the call nesting depth and the
cumulative instruction count at each call or return. Otherwise,
only print when the matching return is hit.
.It Cm next Ns Op Cm /p
.It Cm match Ns Op Cm /p
.It Xo
.Cm next Ns Op Cm /p
or
.Cm match Ns Op Cm /p
.Xc
Stop at the matching return instruction.

Stack trace. The

ddb doesn't always recover from touching bad memory. The optional
.Ar count
argument limits the search.
.It Cm show all procs Ns Op Cm /m
.It Cm ps Ns Op Cm /m

.Cm show all procs Ns Op Cm /m
or
.Cm ps Ns Op Cm /m

Display all process information.
The process information may not be shown if it is not
supported in the machine, or the bottom of the stack of the
......
Displays all watchpoints.
.It Xo
.Cm watch
.Ar addr Ns Li \&, Ns Ar size
.Ar addr Ns Op Li \&, Ns Ar size
.Xc
Set a watchpoint for a region. Execution stops
when an attempt to modify the region occurs.
......
Attempts to watch wired kernel memory
may cause unrecoverable error in some systems.
Watchpoints on user addresses work best.
.It Cm dwatch Ar addr
Delete a watchpoint around
.Ar addr Ns .
.It Cm hwatch Ar addr Ns Op Li \&, Ns Ar size
Set a hardware watchpoint for a region.
.Ar size
defaults to 4.
Works like
.Cm watch
but is much faster.
Requires hardware support.
You can only have a couple of active hardware watchpoints
at a time depending on your hardware.
.It Cm dhwatch Ar addr Ns Op Li \&, Ns Ar size
Delete a hardware watchpoint that monitors the specified memory range.
For a watchpoint to be deleted the provided memory range must be completely
within the monitored memory range.
.Ar size
defaults to 4.
.It Cm acpidb
If the kernel was compiled with
.Dv ACPI_DEBUG ,
    (1-1/1)
