atatat b5329c1d85 (1) Don't print the message buffer (via ddb's dmesg command) if the
message buffer has not yet been set up, mimicking code from the top of
the sysctl routine for retrieving the message buffer.

(2) Add a /l modifier to the trace command.  This makes it print the
backtrace using printf() instead of db_printf(), which has the nice
side-effect of also putting it into the message buffer.  A kernel with
ddb in it but disabled (ie, ddb.onpanic set to zero) will print a
backtrace (which ends up in the message buffer) before dumping (or
not, depending on the value of kern.dump_on_panic) and rebooting, but
if ddb is not disabled, the backtrace is not printed, and there's no
way to get it to display a backtrace such that you can retrieve it
after the dump.  The backtrace printed by gdb is sometimes a little
different.

(3) Documentation for the above.

jhawk 84ceb5dfe7 Fix long-standing inconsistency between manapage and code.
The "ditto" character is " (double-quote); not , (comma) as
indicated in the manpage; and not ' (single-quote) as indicated
in the man.old -style manpage from which the mdoc manpage was derived.

Some other versions of ddb use single-quote for this feature, and this
part of the code may change again in the near future, but the documentation
now affects reality now.

jhawk ef5465cf9f Note "sifting" requires backslash escapes for leading digits. 2000-05-23 23:48:43 +00:00
jhawk 41ebaaaf09 Add a "sifting" command to ddb (named from the Sun OpenPROM command of
the same name); it searches the symbol table(s) for all symbols matching
a given substring, and prints.

Extremely useful for when you forget that critical symbol name.

Also, with /F support (cf. "ls -F") to print a char indicating the
symbol type.

Fix few commands using Cm instead of Ic [consisntency].
