library’s symbols, it cannot honor a request to not load in symbols, so it
ignores a request to not read them.

dset TV::dll_read_loader_symbols_only
dset TV::dll_read_no_symbols
See the online Help for additional information.
If your program stops in a library that has not already had its symbols read,
TotalView reads the library’s symbols. For example, if your program SEGVs
in a library, TotalView reads the symbols from that library before it reports
the error. In all cases, however, TotalView always reads the loader symbols
for shared system libraries.
Reading Excluded Information
While you are debugging your program, you might find that you do need
the symbol information that you told TotalView that it shouldn’t read. Tell
TotalView to read them by right-clicking your mouse in the Stack Trace
Pane and then selecting the Load All Symbols in Stack command from the
context menu. (See Figure 161.)
After selecting this command, TotalView examines all active stack frames
and, if it finds unread libraries in any frame, TotalView reads them.
CLI: TV::read_symbols
This CLI command also gives you finer control over how TotalView
reads in library information.
Setting the Program Counter
TotalView lets you resume execution at a different statement than the one
at which it stopped execution by resetting the value of the program
counter (PC). For example, you might want to skip over some code, execute
