15 execution of programs.

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.
