:
:The / is part of ddb itself. Each ddb command (except those that do their own
:command line parsing) is called with a variable containing the arguments and
:another variable (modif) containing a string of any options specified via /.
:For example:
:
:DB_SHOW_COMMAND(ktr, db_ktr_all)
:{
: int quit;
:
: quit = 0;
: tstate.cur = (ktr_idx - 1) & (KTR_ENTRIES - 1);
: tstate.first = -1;
: if (strcmp(modif, "v") == 0)
: db_ktr_verbose = 1;
: else
: db_ktr_verbose = 0;
: if (strcmp(modif, "a") == 0) {
: while (cncheckc() != -1)
: if (db_mach_vtrace() == 0)
: break;
: } else {
: db_setup_paging(db_simple_pager, &quit, db_lines_per_page);
: while (!quit)
: if (db_mach_vtrace() == 0)
: break;
: }
:}
:
:This implements 'show ktr' and allows 'show ktr /a' and 'show ktr /v'. Note
:that it doesn't handle 'show ktr /av' or 'show ktr /va'. :-)

Oh. :-)
