    how to use h for help

    (added => for emphasize )

    DB<200> h List/search source lines: Control script execution: l [ln|sub] List source code T Stack trace - or . List previous/current line s [expr] Single step [in +expr] v [line] View around line n [expr] Next, steps over + subs f filename View source in file <CR/Enter> Repeat last n or + s /pattern/ ?patt?

DB<200> h H H -number Display last number commands (default all). H * Delete complete history. DB<201>

    excerpt:

    • h [db_cmd] Get help on command
    • H [-num] Display last num commands
    • For more help, type h cmd_letter or run perldoc perldebug for all docs.
    • > h H
      H * Delete complete history.
