Library /sys$common/syshlp/dbg$help.hlb DEBUG, SHOW, SYMBOL, Description  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The SHOW SYMBOL command displays information that the debugger
    has about a given symbol in the current image. This information
    might not be the same as what the compiler had or even what
    you see in your source code. Nonetheless, it is useful for
    understanding why the debugger might act as it does when handling
    symbols.

    If you do not specify a qualifier, the SHOW SYMBOL command lists
    all of the possible declarations or definitions of a specified
    symbol that exist in the RST for the current image (that is,
    in all set modules and in the GST for that image). Symbols are
    displayed with their path names. A path name identifies the
    search scope (module, nested routines, blocks, and so on) that
    the debugger must follow to reach a particular declaration of a
    symbol. When specifying symbolic address expressions in debugger
    commands, use path names only if a symbol is defined multiple
    times and the debugger cannot resolve the ambiguity.

    The /DEFINED and /LOCAL qualifiers display information about
    symbols defined with the DEFINE command (not the symbols that
    are derived from your program). The other qualifiers display
    information about symbols defined within your program.
