3.2.3 Attach Buffer

An attach buffer corresponds to a particular Erlang process that is being debugged. It displays the source to the module currently being executed and, when the process is stopped at a breakpoint, an arrow showing the next line of execution. The attach buffer is accompanied by a buffer showing the variable bindings in the current stack frame.

SPC

Step into the next expression. If the expression is a function call, the debugger will enter that function. (edb-attach-step)

n

Step over the next expression, without going down into a subfunction. (edb-attach-next)

c

Continue execution until the next breakpoint. (edb-attach-continue)

u

Show the previous stack frame. (edb-attach-up)

d

Show the next stack frame. (edb-attach-down)

b

Toggle a breakpoint on the current line. (edb-toggle-breakpoint)

q

Kill the attach buffer. This does not affect the actual Erlang process.

h

Display online help, showing essentially this information. (edb-attach-help)
