Resource settings

Several aspects of the organization, behavior and look of the debugger can be specified as X windows resources by placing resource definitions in an X windows resource files such as the .Xdefaults file in the user's HOME directory. The debugger's resource class name is Debug. The resources special to debug are:

command_level:

level
level may be one of PROGRAM, PROCESS or THREAD (case is insignificant). This specifies whether debugger commands apply by default to the current thread, all threads in the current process or all threads in the current program. See ``Granularity''.

config_directory:

dirname
Specifies the pathname of the directory containing the debugger configuration files. See ``Configuration''.

dis_mode:

mode
mode may be one of SOURCE or NOSOURCE (case is insignificant). This specifies whether the disassembly pane displays source interspersed with the machine instructions. See ``Disassembly Mode''.

event_action:

action
action may be one of BEEP, MESSAGE, RAISE or NONE (case is insignificant). This specifies the behavior of the debugger when an event triggers in a subject process. See ``Output Action''.

event_level:

level
level may be one of PROGRAM, PROCESS or THREAD (case is insignificant). This specifies whether debugger events apply by default to the current thread, all threads in the current process or all threads in the current program. See ``Granularity''.

iconic:

true|false
If true, debug comes up in iconified mode.

output_action:

action
action may be one of BEEP, MESSAGE, RAISE or NONE (case is insignificant). This specifies the behavior of the debugger when a subject process generates output. See ``Output Action''.

source_no_wrap:

true|false
If false (the default) the ``Source pane'' wraps source that is too long to fit on a single line to the next line of the display. If true, no wrapping takes place and a horizontal scrollbar provides viewing of the long lines.

symbols:

type[,type...]
type may be any of LOCAL, FILE, GLOBAL, DEBUGGER or USER (separated by commas, case is insignificant). This specifies the types of symbols to be displayed in the ``Symbol pane''. See ``Symbols''.

thread_action:

action[,action]
action may be either NONE, STOP, BEEP or both STOP and BEEP (list both, separated by a comma, case is insignificant). This specifies the behavior of the debugger when a thread changes state. See ``Output Action''.
