The SET PROCESS command switches SDA's current process context to the process whose PCB is at address 80D772C0. The SHOW PROCESS command shows that the process is ERRFMT, and displays information from its PCB and job information block (JIB).

See the description of the REPEAT command for an example of the use of the SET PROCESS/NEXT command.


SET RMS

Changes the options shown by the SHOW PROCESS/RMS command.

Format

SET RMS =(option[,...])


Parameter

1The optional parameter ifi is an internal file identifier. The default ifi (ALL) is all the files the current process has opened.

The default option is option=(ALL,NOPIO), designating for display by the SHOW PROCESS/RMS command all structures for all files related to the process image I/O.

To list more than one option, enclose the list in parentheses and separate options by commas. You can add a given data structure to those displayed by ensuring that the list of keywords begins with the asterisk (*) symbol. You can delete a given data structure from the current display by preceding its keyword with NO.


Qualifiers

None.

Description

The SET RMS command determines the data structures to be displayed by the SHOW PROCESS/RMS command. (See the examples included in the discussion of the SHOW PROCESS command for information provided by various displays.) You can examine the options that are currently selected by issuing a SHOW RMS command.

Examples

#1

SDA>  SHOW RMS
RMS Display Options:  IFB,IRB,IDX,BDB,BDBSUM,ASB,CCB,WCB,FCB,FAB,RAB,NAM,XAB,RLB,
BLB,BLBSUM,GBD,GBH,FWA,GBDSUM,JFB,NWA,RU,DRC,SFSB,GBSB
 
Display RMS structures for all IFI values.
   
SDA>  SET RMS=IFB
SDA>  SHOW RMS
   
RMS Display Options:  IFB
 
Display RMS structures for all IFI values.
 
      

The first SHOW RMS command shows the default selection of data structures that are displayed in response to a SHOW PROCESS/RMS command. The SET RMS command selects only the IFB to be displayed by subsequent SET/PROCESS commands.

#2

SDA>  SET RMS=(*,BLB,BLBSUM,RLB)
SDA>  SHOW RMS
   
RMS Display Options:  IFB,RLB,BLB,BLBSUM
 
Display RMS structures for all IFI values.
      

The SET RMS command adds the BLB, BLBSUM, and RLB to the list of data structures currently displayed by the SHOW PROCESS/RMS command.

#3

SDA>  SET RMS=(*,NORLB,IFB:05)
SDA>  SHOW RMS
   
RMS Display Options:  IFB,BLB,BLBSUM
Display RMS structures only for IFI=5.
      

The SET RMS command removes the RLB from those data structures displayed by the SHOW PROCESS/RMS command and causes only information about the file with the ifi of 5 to be displayed.

#4

SDA> SET RMS=(*,PIO)
      

The SET RMS command indicates that the data structures designated for display by SHOW PROCESS/RMS be associated with process-permanent I/O instead of image I/O.


SET SIGN_EXTEND

Enables or disables the sign extension of 32-bit addresses.

Format

SET SIGN_EXTEND {ON|OFF}


Parameters

ON

Enables automatic sign extension of 32-bit addresses with bit 31 set. This is the default.

OFF

Disables automatic sign extension of 32-bit addresses with bit 31 set.

Qualifiers

None.

Description

The 32-bit S0/S1 addresses need to be sign-extended to access 64-bit S0/S1 space. To do this, specify explicitly sign-extended addresses, or set the sign-extend command to ON, which is the default.

However, to access addresses in P2 space, addresses must not be sign-extended. To do this, specify a zero in front of the address, or set the sign-extend command to OFF.


Examples

#1

SDA> SET SIGN_EXTEND ON
SDA>  examine 80400000
FFFFFFFF.80400000: 23DEFF90.4A607621
      

This shows the SET SIGN_EXTEND command as ON.

#2

SDA> SET SIGN_EXTEND OFF
SDA>  EXAMINE 80400000
%SDA-E-NOTINPHYS, 00000000.80400000: virtual data not in physical memory
      

This shows the SET SIGN_EXTEND command as OFF.


SET SYMBOLIZE

Enables or disables symbolization of addresses in the display from an EXAMINE command.

Format

SET SYMBOLIZE {ON|OFF}


Parameters

ON

Enables symbolization of addresses.

OFF

Disables symbolization of addresses.

Qualifiers

None.

Examples

#1

SDA> SET SYMBOLIZE ON
        SDA> examine g1234 
        SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS+01234:  47DF041C   "..ßG" 
      

#2

SDA> SET SYMBOLIZE OFF
        SDA> examine g1234 
        FFFFFFFF.80001234:  47DF041C   "..ßG" 
      

These examples show the effect of enabling (default) or disabling symbolization of addresses.


SHOW ADDRESS

Displays the page table related information about a memory address.

Format

SHOW ADDRESS address [/PHYSICAL]


Parameter

address

The requested address.

Qualifier

/PHYSICAL

Indicates that a physical address has been given. The SHOW ADDRESS command displays the virtual address that maps to the given physical address.

Description

The SHOW ADDRESS command displays the region of memory that contains the memory address. It also shows all the page table entries (PTEs) that map the page and can show the range of addresses mapped by the given address if it is the address of a PTE. If the virtual address is in physical memory, the corresponding physical address is displayed.

When the /PHYSICAL qualifier is given, the SHOW ADDRESS command displays the virtual address that maps to the given physical address. This provides you with a way to use SDA commands that do not have a /PHYSICAL qualifier when only the physical address of a memory location is known.


Examples

#1

SDA> SHOW ADDRESS 80000000
FFFFFFFF.80000000 is an S0/S1 address
Mapped by Level-3 PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FFE00000 
Mapped by Level-2 PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF7FF800 
Mapped by Level-1 PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF7FDFF8 
Mapped by Selfmap PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF7FDFF0
Also mapped in SPT window at: FFFFFFFF.FFDF0000
Mapped to physical address 00000000.00400000 
      

The SHOW ADDRESS command in this example shows where the address 80000000 is mapped at different page table entry levels.

#2

SDA> SHOW ADDRESS 0
00000000.00000000 is a P0 address
Mapped by Level-3 PTE at: FFFFFFFC.00000000 
Mapped by Level-2 PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF000000 
Mapped by Level-1 PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF7FC000 
Mapped by Selfmap PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF7FDFF0
Not mapped to a physical address 
      

The SHOW ADDRESS command in this example shows where the address 0 is mapped at different page table entry levels.

#3

SDA> SHOW ADDRESS FFFFFFFD.FF000000
FFFFFFFD.FF000000 is the address of a process-private Level-2 PTE
Mapped by Level-1 PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF7FC000 
Mapped by Selfmap PTE at: FFFFFFFD.FF7FDFF0
Range mapped at level 2: FFFFFFFC.00000000 to FFFFFFFC.00001FFF (1 page) 
Range mapped at level 3: 00000000.00000000 to 00000000.007FFFFF (1024 pages)
Mapped to physical address 00000000.01230000 
      

The SHOW ADDRESS command in this example shows where the address FFFFFFFD.FF7FC000 is mapped at page table entry and the range mapped by the PTE at this address.

#4

SDA> SHOW ADDRESS/PHYSICAL 0
Physical address 00000000.00000000 is mapped to system-space address FFFFFFFF.828FC000
      

The SHOW ADDRESS command in this example shows physical address 00000000.00000000 mapped to system-space address FFFFFFFF.828FC000.

#5

SDA> SHOW ADDRESS/PHYSICAL 029A6000
Physical address 00000000.029A6000 is mapped to process-space address 00000000.00030000 
(process index 0024)
      

The SHOW ADDRESS command in this example shows physical address 00000000.029A6000 mapped to process-space address 00000000.00030000 (process index 0024).


SHOW BUGCHECK

Displays the value, name, and text associated with one or all bugcheck codes.

Format

SHOW BUGCHECK {/ALL (d)|name|number}


Parameters

name

The name of the requested bugcheck code.

number

The value of the requested bugcheck code. The severity bits in the value are ignored.

The parameters name and number and the qualifier /ALL are all mutually exclusive.


Qualifier

/ALL

Displays complete list of all the bugcheck codes, giving their value, name, and text. It is the default.

Description

The SHOW BUGCHECK command displays the value, name, and text associated with bugcheck codes.

Examples

#1

SDA> SHOW BUGCHECK 104
0100  DIRENTRY       ACP failed to find same directory entry
      

The SHOW BUGCHECK command in this example shows the requested bugcheck by number, ignoring the severity (FATAL).

#2

SDA> SHOW BUGCHECK DECNET
08D0  DECNET         DECnet detected a fatal error
      

The SHOW BUGCHECK command in this example shows the requested bugcheck by name.

#3

SDA> SHOW BUGCHECK   
BUGCHECK codes and texts
------------------------
0008  ACPMBFAIL      ACP failure to read mailbox
0010  ACPVAFAIL      ACP failure to return virtual address space
0018  ALCPHD         Allocate process header error
0020  ALCSMBCLR      ACP tried to allocate space already allocated
   .
   .
   .
      

The SHOW BUGCHECK command in this example shows the requested bugcheck by displaying all codes.


SHOW CALL_FRAME

Displays the locations and contents of the quadwords representing a procedure call frame.

Format

SHOW CALL_FRAME {[starting-address]|/EXCEPTION_FRAME=intstk_address |/NEXT_FRAME|/SUMMARY |/ALL}


Parameter

starting-address

For Alpha, an expression representing the starting address of the procedure call frame to be displayed. The default starting-address is the contents of the FP (frame) register of the SDA current process.

For I64, the address is the invocation context handle of the frame, and the default is the handle of the current procedure.


Qualifiers

/ALL

Displays details of all call frames beginning at the current frame and continuing until bottom of stack (equivalent to SHOW CALL and repeated execution of a SHOW CALL/NEXT command).

/EXCEPTION_FRAME=intstk_address

(I64 only.) Provides an alternate starting address for SHOW CALL_FRAME. intstk_address is the address of an exception frame from which SDA creates an initial invocation context and displays the procedure call frame.

/NEXT_FRAME

Displays the procedure call frame starting at the address stored in the frame longword of the last call frame displayed by this command. You must have issued a SHOW CALL_FRAME command previously in the current SDA session in order to use the /NEXT_FRAME qualifier to the command.

/SUMMARY

Provides a one-line summary for each call frame, including exception frames, system-service entry frames, ASTs, KPBs, and so on, until reaching the bottom of the stack.

Description

Whenever a procedure is called, information is stored on the stack of the calling routine in the form of a procedure call frame. The SHOW CALL_FRAME command displays the locations and contents of the call frame. The starting address of the call frame is determined from the specified starting address, the /NEXT_FRAME qualifier, or the address contained in the SDA current process frame register (the default action).

When using the SHOW CALL_FRAME/NEXT_FRAME command to follow a chain of call frames, SDA signals the end of the chain by the following message:


Cannot display further call frames (bottom of stack) 
This message indicates that the saved frame in the previous call frame has a zero value (Alpha) or that the current frame is marked Bottom of Stack (I64).
