Seeing the CLI
at Work
The CLI is a command-line debugger that is completely integrated
with TotalView. You can use it and never use the TotalView GUI, or
you can use it and the GUI simultaneously. Because the CLI is
embedded in a Tcl interpreter, you can also create debugging functions
that exactly meet your needs. When you do this, you can use
these functions in the same way that you use TotalView’s built-in CLI
commands.
This chapter contains macros that show how the CLI programmatically
interacts with your program and with TotalView. Reading examples
without bothering too much with details gives you an appreciation
for what the CLI can do and how you can use it. With a basic
knowledge of Tcl, you can make full use of all CLI features.
In each macro in this chapter, all Tcl commands that are unique to
the CLI are displayed in bold. These macros perform the following
tasks:
� “Setting the CLI EXECUTABLE_PATH Variable” on page 214
� “Initializing an Array Slice” on page 215
� “Printing an Array Slice” on page 215
� “Writing an Array Variable to a File” on page 217
� “Automatically Setting Breakpoints” on page 218
