MANAGED DEBUGGING with WINDBG. Help

Hi all,

This post is a continuation of MANAGED DEBUGGING with WINDBG. Prerequisites

 

HELP

 

·         I won’t explain every single detail on WinDbg or debugger extension commands. I don’t want to duplicate much info. I will mainly focus on which commands to use and how to use them depending on the circumstances, with samples.

 

Disclaimer: there could be several ways to combine the commands and get the same info. I will just show my way. There could be better ways, and I would love to know them. Thanks!

 

·         If we don’t know how a command works we can get extensive help in other places:

We can get help on WinDbg and its commands in Debugger.chm help file. We can open this file directly from the debugger:

0:000> .hh

 

We can also see all commands in an extension:

0:000> !SOS.help

 

Or we can get help for just one command in an extension:

0:004> !SOS.help !command

 

We won’t only get the possible parameters. We will also get useful explanations and tips to use the commands. I suggest you take a look to the help of every single command you use.
