Maintenance Commands                                     redx(1M)



NAME
     redx - remote emulation debugger

SYNOPSIS
     redx  [ -chnlq? ]  [ file  [ arg ... ]  ]

     redx  [ -q ] -xredx_interpreter_cmd ...

CAUTION
     Only your  service  provider  should  execute  this  command
     except  during software installation and updates. If instal-
     lation instructions provided by Sun Microsystems tell you to
     use  this command, do so exactly as instructed. Improper use
     can cause catastrophic operating system failure.

DESCRIPTION
     redx  is a debug and maintenance support program for the Sun
     Enterprise 10000 system. It is associated with the POST pro-
     gram, but is generally useful for other  low-level  hardware
     and firmware debugging.

     A command interpreter, redx  reads  commands  interactively,
     from script files, or when used with the -x option, from the
     invoking command line. It features extensive  on-line  help.
     To access this help from within the program, type help or ?,
     and redx  lists available command  names  and  explains  the
     other help facilities.

     At  start-up  redx   reads  the  optional  start-up  script,
     .redxrc, if it is present in the current directory. If  redx
     does not find it in the current directory, it looks  in  the
     user's  home  directory.  If redx  cannot find the script in
     either directory, or if the  -n  option  is  specified,  the
     script is not used.

OPTIONS
     Dash  arguments  can  be  grouped,  as  in  -qn,  or  issued
     separately,  such  as  -q  -n. They can appear in any order,
     except that -x, when used, must be  the  last  dash  option.
     Numeric  arguments are assumed to be decimal, or hex if pre-
     faced with 0x or x.

     -c        Do  not  use  the  curses  library  functions  for
               input/output.  The  command history and scrollable
               output window functions are not available in  this
               mode.  -c  makes redx  usable when only simple tty
               connections to the SSP are available.

     -h        Print help listing.

     -l        Initiate in Local mode, with no  access  to  JTAG.
               Use  this  option  for  parsing  functions, or for

               safe, offline examination of hardware dump files.

     -n        Do not read the startup file, .redxrc.

     -q        Use quiet mode, suppressing normal screen output.

     -x redx_interpreter_cmd ...
               Execute the specified interpreter command (or com-
               mands)  from  the command line, then exit. Charac-
               ters special to the shell  must  be  escaped  (see
               sh(1)). This option implies -n.

     -?        Print help listing.
