;
TB -- (Traceback) Displays the current call stack.


FORMAT

  TB -Frames n   -Args


REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

  None.


OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

  -Frames        Displays the n most recent calls only.

  -Args          Displays routine arguments and shows their contents.


DESCRIPTION

  Use the TB command to follow the chain of calls leading to the current
  routine.  For instance, if you want to know what routine called the routine
  you are currently in, use the TB command. Note that the TB command has no
  long form; that is, you cannot invoke it by spelling out TRACEBACK.

  You can issue the TB command with no options, one option, or two options.
  With no options, the TB command displays all calls from the most recent to
  the least recent.  If you specify the -Frames option, TB displays the n
  most recent calls only.  Specifying the -Args option is something like
  specifying a combination TB command and ARGS command.  In other words,
  DEBUG traces the names of the routines and the values of all arguments to
  those routines.

  For full details, see Chapter 3 of the DOMAIN Language Level Debugger
  Reference manual.
