Invoking Shell Commands from the Debugger

To invoke shell commands from the debugger command line, use the shell command. For example, the following command compiles the test program, average.c, for debugging:

shell cc -g average.c

The value of the SHELL environment variable determines which shell is invoked.

	NOTE: Do not enter the shell command without an argument or invoke a command that expects standard input. The command will fail when it attempts to read from standard input

For more information on the shell command, see the online command reference.
