DBXRC(4)							      DBXRC(4)

NAME
       dbxrc, .dbxrc - commands to dbx

DESCRIPTION
       The  .dbxrc file contains dbx commands executed when you start dbx.  It
       is used primarily for defining aliases and ksh functions, setting  dbx‐
       env variables, and defining GUI buttons.

       dbx  first  searches  for  .dbxrc in the current working directory.  If
       .dbxrc does not exist in the current directory, dbx looks in the user's
       home directory. If no .dbxrc file is found, the same search is made for
       the file .dbxinit.

       Use the .dbxrc file to configure dbx.

USAGE
       See the dbx(1) man page for a description of dbx commands.

EXAMPLES
       Here is an example of a .dbxrc file that a FORTRAN user	of  dbx	 might
       use:

	      dbxenv stack_max_size 10
	      dbxenv output_base 16
	      catch FPE

       The  output  of	the  dbx  command help dbxrc can be used as an initial
       .dbxrc file. For example:

	      help dbxrc > .dbxrc

       Many helpful ksh functions are documented in this help dbxrc output.

SEE ALSO
       dbx(1).

NOTES
       Users of earlier releases of dbx may have used their .dbxrc file to set
       breakpoints. The modules and Auto-Read facilities now cause dbx to read
       .dbxrc before the symbol table information rather than after.

       As a workaround, you can define an alias	 in  your  .dbxrc  file	 which
       sources	another	 file  of dbx commands; you can then set up this addi‐
       tional file to contain the breakpoint-setting commands.	Once you  have
       set  up	this  second  file with the breakpoint commands, just call the
       alias immediately after you call dbx .
