Debugger Variables
debug-specific variables are substantially different
from those with special meaning for dbx.
There are four types of debug variables, each with a
distinct purpose:
-
``code'' variables; variables defined by the code being debugged
(unadorned name): var
-
``system'' variables; variables that affect or modify some
aspect of debug behaviour: %var
-
``user'' variables; generic debug internal variables
defined by the user to store temporary values: $var
-
environment variables are handled as a subset of user variables, and
are defined by exporting them: export $var
