cv [options] executable_file [arguments]
Description
The codeview debugger is a screen-oriented debugger.
CodeView displays source code or assembly code, indicates
which line is about to be executed, dynamically watches the
values of variables (local or global), switches screens to
display program output, and performs many other related
functions. You can use CodeView to debug programs written
in FORTRAN, BASIC, or Pascal as well as assembly language.
CodeView displays in either window mode or in sequential
mode. In window mode, pull-down menus and function keys
offer fast access to the most common commands.
The executable file is created from compiled object files.
It must be compiled and linked with the correct options so
that it contains the line-number information and a symbol
table needed by CodeView. The correct options for compiling
and linking for use with CodeView are described in The
CodeView Debugger.
The optional arguments are parameters passed to the
executable file. If the program you are debugging does not
accept command-line arguments, you do not need to pass any
arguments.
The following options are available:
-ccommands
Executes one or more commands automatically upon
start-up.
-t Starts the debugger in sequential mode, rather than in
the default window mode.
For information about using the CodeView debugger, see The
CodeView Debugger .
