DESCRIPTION

13       The  adb utility is an interactive, general-purpose debugger. It can be
14       used to examine files and provides a  controlled  environment  for  the
15       execution of programs.

17
18       The  adb  utility  is  now implemented as a link to the mdb(1) utility.
19       mdb(1) is a low-level debugging utility that can  be  used  to  examine
20       user processes as well as the live operating system or operating system
21       crash dumps. The new mdb(1) utility provides complete backwards compat‐
22       ibility with the existing syntax and features of adb, including support
23       for processing adb macro files. The Solaris Modular Debugger Guide  and
24       mdb(1)  man  page describes the features of mdb, including its adb com‐
25       patibility mode. This mode will be activated by default  when  the  adb
26       link is executed.
