Syntax

{ memscript | memscape } [ filename [ corefile ]] [ options ]

Arguments

filename

Specifies the pathname of the executable being debugged. This can be an absolute or relative pathname. The executable must be compiled with debugging symbols turned on, normally the –g compiler option. Any multiprocess programs that call fork(), vfork(), or execve() should be linked with the dbfork library.

corefile

Specifies the name of a core file. Use this argument in addition to filename when you want to examine a core file with MemoryScape.

The MemoryScape debugger is a source-level debugger with a motif-based graphic user interface and features for debugging distributed programs, multiprocess programs, and multithreaded programs. MemoryScape is available on a number of different platforms.

If you specify mutually exclusive options on the same command line (for example, –ccq and –nccq), MemoryScape uses the last option that you enter.
