3 Syntax as a command: save_history_registers state -control_args

5
6 Function: allows a user to save processor history registers upon each
7 occurrence of a signalable fault in the signalers stack frame. By
8 default, the history registers are not saved, and the history register
9 block in the signalers stack frame is set to all zeros.

12 Arguments:
13 state
14 can be either "on" or "off." If state is not specified, it is off.
15
16
17 Control arguments:
18 -priv
19 specifies manipulation of the per-system state by directing the
20 state and -print arguments to operate on the per-system history
21 register save switch, wired_hardcore_data$global_hregs. When set,
22 this switch causes all processes to save their history registers
23 upon each occurrence of a signalable fault in the signalers stack
24 frame. If -priv is not specified, then the state and -print
25 arguments operate on pds$save_history_regs, the per-process history
26 register save switch of the process executing this command.
27
28
29 -print, -pr
30 displays the current state of the history register save switch if
31 the state argument is not specified; if the state argument is
32 specified, the state of the switch is displayed before the new state
33 is applied.
