The PGDBG Command Prompt

The PGDBG command prompt reflects the current debug mode (See PGDBG Debug Modes and Process/Thread Identifiers).

In serial debug mode, the PGDBG prompt looks like this:


	pgdbg>

In threads-only debug mode, PGDBG displays the current p/t-set followed by the ID of the current thread.


	pgdbg [all] 0>    
Current thread is 0

In process-only debug mode, PGDBG displays the current p/t-set followed by the ID of the current process.

	pgdbg [all] 0>	   
Current process is 0

In multilevel debug mode, PGDBG displays the current p/t-set followed by the ID of the current thread prefixed by the id of its parent process.


	pgdbg [all] 1.0>
Current thread 1.0

The pgienv promptlen variable can be set to control the number of characters devoted to printing the current p/t-set at the prompt.

See PGDBG Debug Modes and Process/Thread Identifiers for a description of the PGDBG debug modes.
