29.Dt DB_COMMAND 9
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm DB_COMMAND ,
33.Nm DB_SHOW_COMMAND
34.Nd Extends the ddb command set
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In ddb/ddb.h
37.Fo DB_COMMAND
38.Fa command_name
39.Fa command_function
40.Fc
41.Fn DB_SHOW_COMMAND "command_name" "command_function"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn DB_COMMAND
45macro adds
46.Fa command_name
47to the list of top-level commands.
48Invoking
49.Fa command_name
50from ddb will call
51.Fa command_function .
52.Pp
53The
54.Fn DB_SHOW_COMMAND
55is roughly equivalent to
56.Fn DB_COMMAND
57but in this case,
58.Fa command_name
59is a sub-command of the ddb
60.Sy show
61command.
62.Pp
63The general command syntax:
64.Cm command Ns Op Li \&/ Ns Ar modifier
65.Ar address Ns Op Li , Ns Ar count ,
66translates into the following parameters for
67.Fa command_function :
68.Bl -tag -width Fa -offset indent
69.It Fa addr
70The address passed to the command as an argument.
71.It Fa have_addr
72A boolean value that is true if the addr field is valid.
73.It Fa count
74The number of quad words starting at offset
75.Fa addr
76that the command must process.
77.It Fa modif
78A pointer to the string of modifiers.
79That is, a series of symbols used to pass some options to the command.
80For example, the
81.Sy examine
82command will display words in decimal form if it is passed the modifier "d".
83.El
84.Sh EXAMPLE
85In your module, the command is declared as:
86.Bd -literal
87DB_COMMAND(mycmd, my_cmd_func)
88{
89	if (have_addr)
90		db_printf("Calling my command with address %p\en", addr);
91}
92.Ed
93.Pp

95.Bd -literal
96.Bf Sy
97db> mycmd 0x1000
98Calling my command with address 0x1000
