67.Sh DESCRIPTION
68The
69.Fn DB_COMMAND
70macro adds
71.Fa command_name
72to the list of top-level commands.
73Invoking
74.Fa command_name
75from ddb will call
76.Fa command_function .
77.Pp
78The
79.Fn DB_SHOW_COMMAND
80and
81.Fn DB_SHOW_ALL_COMMAND
82macros are roughly equivalent to
83.Fn DB_COMMAND
84but in these cases,
85.Fa command_name
86is a sub-command of the ddb
87.Sy show
88command and
89.Sy show all
90command, respectively.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn DB_TABLE_COMMAND
94macro is also similar to
95.Fn DB_COMMAND
96but adds the new command as a sub-command of the ddb command
97.Fa table .
98.Pp
99The
100.Fn DB_ALIAS ,
101.Fn DB_SHOW_ALIAS ,
102.Fn DB_SHOW_ALL_ALIAS ,
103and
104.Fn DB_TABLE_ALIAS
105macros register the existing
106.Fa command_function
107under the alternative command name
108.Fa alias_name .
109.Pp
110The _FLAGS variants of these commands allow the programmer to specify a value
111for the
112.Fa flag
113field of the command structure.
114The possible flag values are defined alongside
115.Ft struct db_command
116in
117.In ddb/ddb.h .
118.Pp
119The general command syntax:
120.Cm command Ns Op Li \&/ Ns Ar modifier
121.Ar address Ns Op , Ns Ar count ,
122translates into the following parameters for
123.Fa command_function :
124.Bl -tag -width Fa -offset indent
125.It Fa addr
126The address passed to the command as an argument.
127.It Fa have_addr
128A boolean value that is true if the addr field is valid.
129.It Fa count
130The number of quad words starting at offset
131.Fa addr
132that the command must process.
133.It Fa modif
134A pointer to the string of modifiers.
135That is, a series of symbols used to pass some options to the command.
136For example, the
137.Sy examine
138command will display words in decimal form if it is passed the modifier "d".
139.El
140.Pp
141The
142.Fn DB_DEFINE_TABLE
143macro adds a new command
144.Fa name
145as a sub-command of the existing command table
146.Fa parent .
147The new command defines a table named
148.Fa table
149which contains sub-commands.
150New commands and aliases can be added to this table by passing
151.Fa table
152as the first argument to one of the DB_TABLE_ macros.
153.Sh EXAMPLES
154In your module, the command is declared as:
155.Bd -literal
156DB_COMMAND(mycmd, my_cmd_func)
157{
158	if (have_addr)
159		db_printf("Calling my command with address %p\\n", addr);
160}
161.Ed
162.Pp
163An alias for this command is declared as:
164.Bd -literal
165DB_ALIAS(mycmd2, my_cmd_func);
166.Ed
167.Pp
168Then, when in ddb:
169.Bd -literal
170.Bf Sy
171db> mycmd 0x1000
172Calling my command with address 0x1000
173db> mycmd2 0x2500
174Calling my command with address 0x2500
175db>
