Task category list
This topic contains an task category list of subcommands.
The categories in which the subcommands are grouped are as follows:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Address translation subcommands | The subcommands in this category can be used to display address translation information, display and modify ibat and dbat registers on POWER processor-based machines, and display and modify Segment Lookaside Buffer (SLB) information. |
| Branch target subcommands | The subcommands in this category provide access on some POWER processor-based platform processors for target address comparison and trap functions. |
| Breakpoint and steps subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to set and clear breakpoints and provide step functions. |
| Changing context subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to change the context that is being debugged. |
| Calculator and converter subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to convert decimal numbers to other formats and evaluate decimal and hexadecimal expressions. |
| Basic display subcommands | The subcommands in this category display stack frames, system statistics and information about processors. |
| CPU start and stop subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to selectively hold processors in kdb spin loops and then release them back to general operating system use. |
| Display context information subcommands | The subcommands in this category display context and key mappings information. |
| Display general and Journal File System (JFS) information subcommands | The subcommands in this category can be used to display general file system information, and information specific to the JFS filesystem. |
| Display Enhanced Journaled File System information subcommands | The subcommands in this category can be used to display Enhanced Journaled File System (JFS2) information. |
| Display memory allocation information subcommands | The subcommands in this category display memory allocation information. |
| Display kernel data structures subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to print the var and drvars structure and the system configuration of a machine and to display information about IPL control blocks, interrupt handler tables and device switch tables. |
| Display NFS information subcommands | The subcommands in this category can be used to display NFS information. |
| Display RBAC subcommands | The subcommands in this category can be used to display RBAC information. |
| Display storage subsystem information subcommands | The subcommands in this category display storage subsystem information. |
| Display VMM subcommands | The subcommands in this category can be used to display VMM information. |
| End user subcommands | The subcommands in this category explain how category help works, list and set kdb command toggles, and create, display and remove user-defined variables. |
| Debugger trace points subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to trace the running of a specified address and stop KDB kernel debugger based on conditions. |
| Leaving kdb subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to exit the kdb command and the KDB kernel debugger, shutdown the machine and reboot the machine. |
| Loader subcommands | The subcommands in this category display the kernel loader entries, add symbols from loaded kernel extensions to the KDB kernel debugger's symbol name cache, and display or remove symbol tables. |
| Lock subcommands | The subcommands in this category can be used to display information about locks and to check the system for deadlocks. |
| Memory modification subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to modify memory. |
| Memory register display and decode subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to display and decode the memory register. |
| Memory search and extract subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to search and extract information from memory. |
| Namelist and symbols subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to change namelists and symbols. |
| Network subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to print network information. |
| PCI configuration space and I/O debugging subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to debug I/O errors and PCI configuration space errors. |
| System trace, dump and error log subcommands | The subcommands in this category support some fundamental AIX Reliability and Serviceability features. These subcommands display data in the kernel trace buffers, data in the trace buffers, unprocessed system error log entries, and data in a system memory dump. |
| Time subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to determine the elapsed time from the previous use of the KDB kernel debugger, and to determine Timer Request Block (TRB) information. |
| Watch DABR subcommands | The subcommands in this category are used to enter the debugger on a load or store instruction. |
| Workload Manager (WLM) subcommands | The subcommands in this category support the WLM functions. |
| Workload partition subcommands | You can use the subcommand in this category to print workload partition (WPAR) information. |
