30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm DB_COMMAND ,
33.Nm DB_COMMAND_FLAG ,
34.Nm DB_SHOW_COMMAND
35.Nd Extends the ddb command set
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In ddb/ddb.h
38.Fo DB_COMMAND
39.Fa command_name
40.Fa command_function
41.Fc
42.Fo DB_COMMAND_FLAG
43.Fa command_name
44.Fa command_function
45.Fa flag
46.Fc
47.Fn DB_SHOW_COMMAND "command_name" "command_function"
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Fn DB_COMMAND
51macro adds
52.Fa command_name
53to the list of top-level commands.
54Invoking
55.Fa command_name
56from ddb will call
57.Fa command_function .
58.Pp
59The
60.Fn DB_COMMAND_FLAG
61macro is a variant of
62.Fn DB_COMMAND
63which allows for specifying an additional
64.Fa flag .
65.Pp
66The
67.Fn DB_SHOW_COMMAND
68is roughly equivalent to
69.Fn DB_COMMAND
70but in this case,
71.Fa command_name
72is a sub-command of the ddb
73.Sy show
74command.
75.Pp
76The general command syntax:
77.Cm command Ns Op Li \&/ Ns Ar modifier
78.Ar address Ns Op , Ns Ar count ,
79translates into the following parameters for
80.Fa command_function :
81.Bl -tag -width Fa -offset indent
82.It Fa addr
83The address passed to the command as an argument.
84.It Fa have_addr
85A boolean value that is true if the addr field is valid.
86.It Fa count
87The number of quad words starting at offset
88.Fa addr
89that the command must process.
90.It Fa modif
91A pointer to the string of modifiers.
92That is, a series of symbols used to pass some options to the command.
93For example, the
94.Sy examine
95command will display words in decimal form if it is passed the modifier "d".
96.El
97.Sh EXAMPLES
98In your module, the command is declared as:
99.Bd -literal
100DB_COMMAND(mycmd, my_cmd_func)
101{
102	if (have_addr)
103		db_printf("Calling my command with address %p\en", addr);
104}
105.Ed
106.Pp
107Then, when in ddb:
108.Bd -literal
109.Bf Sy
110db> mycmd 0x1000
111Calling my command with address 0x1000
112db>
