how do i know what commands lists all the local variables
in a scope. just do 'help show | grep local'
IMHO, extensive on-line-help is useless, if i can't search
for a world thru it. in dbx, i can do a help -k keyword
just like 'man -k'.
I'll will work someday to try to integrate gdb with zsh some
day. After using dbx with Sun-5.0, I find gdb _very_ limiting.
BTW, is there any effort to make a geniune components out
of gdb( a libgdb.a/so with libgdb.g ?), with tcl thingy
cleany out of it , or is redhat going to make a spaghetti of
code ?
