Screen Manipulation Commands

 

 

 

 

Ski provides several commands to manipulate windows. These commands let you make major changes of context or fine adjustments. xski provides more flexibility: you can change the location and size of xski windows using the mechanisms provided by your window manager, and xski provides scrollbars in some windows, for minor adjustments.

5.1Register Window Commands

As described in Section 3.2, “The Register Window”, xski shows all five sets of registers in the Register Window, with scroll bars and pane resizers so you can select what registers to see within each set and how much screen space should be devoted to each set. The fr, gr, iar, sr, and ur commands allow you to toggle display of individual sets on and off. Figure 3-1, “The Register Window in xski,” on page 3-2shows the xski Register Window.

ski has much less screen space available and therefore shows only one set and only a part of it at a time. The fr, gr, iar, sr, and ur commands allow you to choose which register set to see. The rf and rb commands let you choose what part of the chosen register set to see. Figure 3-8, “The ski Register Window (at Top),” on page 3-6shows the ski Register Win- dow.

5.1.1Summary of Register Window Commands

rd [filename ]

Dump the Register Window to the screen in a new window (xski) or using a pager (ski), or, if filename is provided, to the file given by filename . The mnemonic stands for “register dump”.

5.1.1.1xski Register Window Commands

fr

Toggles display of the floating point registers ( fr) pane in the Register Window. See Figure 3-4, “The xski Floating Point Registers Pane,” on page 3-4.

gr

Toggles display of the general registers (gr) pane in the Register Window. See Figure 3-3, “The xski General Registers Pane,” on page 3-3.

iar

Toggles display of the IA-32 registers (eax, ebx, esp, etc.) pane in the Register Window. See Figure 3-6, “The xski IA-32 Registers Pane,” on page 3-5.

sr

Toggles display of the system registers (cr, rr, pkr, dbr, ibr, pmc, and pmd) pane in the Register Window. See Figure 3-5, “The xski System Registers Pane,” on page 3-4.

ur
