Similarly, a '-d' option can be used to run ovsdb-server under GDB. Both options can be specified at the same time. +In addition, a '-e' option also launches ovs-vswitchd under GDB. However, +instead of displaying a 'gdb>' prompt and waiting for user input, ovs-vswitchd +will start to execute immediately. '-r' option is the corresponding option +for running ovsdb-server under gdb with immediate execution. + To avoid GDB mangling with the sandbox sub shell terminal, 'ovs-sandbox' starts a new xterm to run each GDB session. For systems that do not support X windows, GDB support is effectively disabled. |
