# 181240 03-Aug-2008 rwatson

DDB scripting, textdumps, output capture, etc, all will appear in
FreeBSD 7.1 before 8.0 ships.

# 178515 25-Apr-2008 rwatson

Add "ddb capture print" and "ddb capture status" commands do ddb(8),
alowing the DDB output capture buffer to be easily extracted from
user space. Both of these commands include -M/-N arguments, allowing
them to be used with kernel crash dumps (or /dev/mem).

This makes it easier to use DDB scripting and output capture with
minidumps or full dumps rather than with text dumps, allowing DDB
output (scripted or otherwise) to be easily extracted from a crash
dump.

# 176833 05-Mar-2008 brooks

Add the ability to read a file of commands to ddb(8) modeled after the
feature in ipfw(8).


# 174925 26-Dec-2007 rwatson

Minor formatting tweaks.

Point at ddb(4) and textdump(4) man pages for more script examples.

# 174915 26-Dec-2007 rwatson

Add command-line tool ddb(8), which allows DDB(4) scripts to be
managed from userspace. It is largely a wrapper for sysctl()
calls, but because the sysctls for adding and removing scripts
are awkward to use directly, this provides an easier-to-use
interface.
