<h1>Command line HSDB</h1>
|
|
10 |
<p>
|
|
11 |
When debugging remote core dumps it is easier to work with command line tools instead of
|
|
12 |
GUI tools. Command line HSDB (CLHSDB) tool is alternative to SA GUI tool HSDB.
|
|
13 |
</p>
|
|
14 |
|
|
15 |
<p>
|
|
16 |
There is also JavaScript based SA command line interface called <a href="jsdb.html">jsdb</a>.
|
|
17 |
But, CLHSDB supports Unix shell-like (or dbx/gdb-like) command line interface with
|
|
18 |
support for output redirection/appending (familiar >, >>), command history and so on.
|
|
19 |
Each CLHSDB command can have zero or more arguments and optionally end with output redirection
|
|
20 |
(or append) to a file. Commands may be stored in a file and run using <b>source</b> command.
|
|
21 |
<b>help</b> command prints usage message for all supported commands (or a specific command)
|
|

<h3>JavaScript integration</h3>
|
|
85 |
|
|
86 |
<p>Few CLHSDB commands are already implemented in JavaScript. It is possible to extend CLHSDB command set
|
|
87 |
by implementing more commands in a JavaScript file and by loading it by <b>jsload</b> command. <b>jseval</b>
|
|
88 |
command may be used to evaluate arbitrary JavaScript expression from a string. Any JavaScript function
|
|
89 |
may be exposed as a CLHSDB command by registering it using JavaScript <b><code>registerCommand</code></b>
|
|
90 |
function. This function accepts command name, usage and name of the JavaScript implementation function
|
|
91 |
as arguments.
|
|
92 |
</p>
|
|
93 |
|

<h3>Simple CLHSDB command implemented in JavaScript</h3>
|
|
95 |
|
|
96 |
<b>File: test.js</b>
|
|
97 |
<pre>
|
|
98 |
<code>
|
|
99 |
function helloImpl(name) {
|
|
100 |
println("hello, " + name);
|
|
101 |
}
|
|
102 |
|
|
103 |
// register the above JavaScript function as CLHSDB command
|
|
104 |
registerCommand("hello", "hello name", "helloImpl");
|
|
105 |
</code>
|
|
106 |
</pre>
|
|
107 |
---------<br>
|
|
108 |
|
|
109 |
"test.js" can be loaded in CLHSDB prompt using <b>jsload</b> command using
|
|
110 |
|
|
111 |
<pre>
|
|
112 |
<code>
|
