! [command]
Arguments
command
(optional) The command in a shell to be executed.
Discussion
The ! command takes you to the operating system prompt, which enables you to execute a system command without exiting the debugger.
If no arguments are specified, ! places you at the operating system’s command level prompt. On UNIX, this means executing a UNIX shell without executing any commands. On OpenVMS, ! spawns a subprocess.
The ! command is not supported by the debug server if you are debugging remotely.
Examples
For example, in a UNIX environment whose shell prompt is a $, the following sequence of commands exits to a shell, renames a.b to x.y, deletes test, and returns to the debugger:
DBG> ! $ mv a.b x.y $ rm test $ exit
