I'm not sure reusing DDB is by definition the best idea, my idea was more to have a simple EVENTHANDLER and let all sorts of subsystems hook their own private function into that. With DDB there is a focus on fitting things on screens etc, with a "summary dump" this is less the case and more fields could be dumped from data structures etc. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
