Using Commands in a Parallel Debugging Session

You can use most debugger commands just as you would when debugging a non-parallel application. Most commands are passed on to the leaf debuggers and you see aggregated output from them in your user interface. However, there are a few important exceptions.

All commands are sent to the leaf debuggers for parallel debugging except for the following:

Local commands: commands that are not sent to the leaf debuggers, but rather are processed by the local debugger for parallel debugging
Remote and local commands: commands that sent to the leaf debuggers and also processed by the local debugger for parallel debugging
Disabled commands: commands that are disabled for parallel debugging

The following table shows the debugger commands that are local only, both remote and local, and those that are disabled:

Local	Both Remote and Local	Disabled
!	export	attach
alias	output	detach
define	pwd	file
edit	quit	idb freeze
expand aggreagted message	set	idb set openmp-serialization
help	set environment	idb show openmp-serialization
history	set variable	idb stopping threads
playback input	setenv	idb synchronze
record	sh	idb target threads
set editing	shell	idb thaw
set height	show convenience	idb uninterrupt
set max-user-call-depth	show environment	load
set prompt	unset	patch
set width	unsetenv	printenv
show aggregated message	unset environment	rerun
show commands		run
show editing		set args
show height		target core
show max-user-call-depth		unload
show process set
show prompt
show user
show width
source
unalias
unrecord

In addition to the commands listed in the table, the focus command can assist parallel debugging.
