.SH NAME
dbg16 \- GENIX symbolic debugger 
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dbg16
[ parameter [ = 
.I file
] ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Dbg16 
is the G\s-2ENIX\s0 software debugger program for \fISeries 32000\fR
target systems, such as the DB32016 Development Board.
.I Dbg16
runs on a \s-2UNIX\s0 system with G\s-2ENIX\s0 Cross-Support Software or on 
the G\s-2ENIX\s0 operating system.
It communicates with the monitor on
the target system,
which must be connected to the host system via an RS232 serial line.
For \fISeries 32000\fR Development Boards, 
the TDS monitor PROMs shipped on the boards must be replaced
with the MON16 (for DB16000 or DB32016 target systems) or MON32 (for
DB32000) PROMs supplied in the G\s-2ENIX\s0 package.
.PP
When 
.I dbg16
is invoked, these parameters may be specified:
.br
.ns
.TP 
\f3/noecho\f1 or \f3/echo\f1
Specifies whether the Echo flag is on (\f3/echo\f1) or off (\f3/noecho\f1).
Default is \f3/echo\f1.
.br
.ns
.TP 
\f3/noindirect\f1 or \f3/indirect\f1=\f2file\f1
.B /indirect=\f2file\f1 tells 
.I dbg16
to look for, and execute, the debugging commands in 
.IR file .
.B /noindirect 
tells 
.I dbg16
not to look for an indirect file.
If neither is specified, 
.I dbg16
looks for an indirect file named ``dbg16.ini'' in the current 
directory.
.I Dbg16
prints an error message if the file 
.I dbg16.ini 
does not exist and neither
.B /noindirect
or
\f3/indirect\f1=\f2file\f1
were specified.
.br
.ns
.TP 
\f3/noexecute\f1 or \f3/execute\f1=\f2file\f1
Names the executable file to be debugged  when
\f3execute\f1=\f2file\f1 is specified.
.I Dbg16 
will use
.I file
as a parameter to the debugger's Begin command.
The file to be debugged can also be selected after 
.I dbg16
has been invoked.
.B /noexecute 
does not specify any executable file and is the default.
.PP
After 
.I dbg16 
is invoked and has executed an initial indirect file, if any,
it responds with the prompt ``-->''.
.I Dbg16 
commands can now be entered to down-load, execute, and 
debug a program on the target hardware.
The first 
.I dbg16
command issued 
must be a Select Link command, which tells
.I dbg16
how the target system is connected to the host.
.PP
.I Dbg16
features an extensive on-line help
facility.  Type ``h'' in response to the
.I dbg16 
prompt.
