detach subcommand for dbx: Continue program execution without dbx control

Format

detach [signalnumber | signalname]

Description

The detach subcommand continues the execution of a program from the current stopping point without control of dbx.

If a signal is specified, either by the number specified in the signalnumber argument or by the name specified in the signalname argument, the program continues without dbx control as if that signal had been received by the focus thread. If the signal is not specified, the program continues with no signal and without dbx control.

Signal names are not case-sensitive, and the SIG prefix is optional. If no signal is specified, the program continues without dbx control as if it had not been stopped.

Usage notes

The detach subcommand can be run only while the dbx debug program is running.
The detach subcommand is not supported in GUI (socket) mode (-p).

Examples

To continue program execution from the current stopping point without dbx in control, enter:
```
detach
```
To continue program execution without dbx control as though it had received the signal SIGQUIT, enter:
```
detach SIGQUIT
```
