        mxdb                                                      Command
        Invoke mxdb,a symbolic debugger
        _________________________________________________________________


        SYNTAX

        mxdb [ -c corefile ] [ -p pid ] [-i] [ program [ argument ... ]]

        corefile  The pathname of a core dump file
        pid       The process id of a running process
        program   The pathname of an executable file
        argument  An argument to program


        DESCRIPTION

        The mxdb command invokes a symbolic debugger that you can use
        with C, F77, and Pascal programs.  The mxdb debugger examines
        executable files, and core files, and running processes and
        provides a controlled environment for their execution.

        Mxdb can accept input from a file or pipeline.  In such case, the
        -i option is sometimes useful if you want to see the session as
        it would appear if it were running interactively.

        If you execute mxdb with no arguments, a debug command is
        available to begin debugging.  A help command is also available
        that provides help on all mxdb commands and various topics.


           Options

        -c   Debug a core dump.

        -i   Display prompts even when standard input is not a terminal.

        -p   Debug a running process.


        FILES

        a.out
        core
