args

Print function arguments.

If regex is specified only function arguments with a name matching it will be returned. If -v is specified more information about each function argument will be shown.

break

Aliases: b

breakpoints

Print out info for active breakpoints.

Aliases: bp

call

Resumes process, injecting a function call (EXPERIMENTAL!!!)

call [-unsafe] <function call expression>

Current limitations:

  • only pointers to stack-allocated objects can be passed as argument.
  • only some automatic type conversions are supported.
  • functions can only be called on running goroutines that are not executing the runtime.
  • the current goroutine needs to have at least 256 bytes of free space on the stack.
  • functions can only be called when the goroutine is stopped at a safe point.
  • calling a function will resume execution of all goroutines.
  • only supported on linux's native backend.

check

Creates a checkpoint at the current position.

checkpoint [note]

The "note" is arbitrary text that can be used to identify the checkpoint, if it is not specified it defaults to the current filename:line position.

checkpoints

clear

Deletes breakpoint.

clear <breakpoint name or id>

clear-checkpoint

Deletes checkpoint.

clear-checkpoint <id>

Aliases: clearcheck

clearall

Deletes multiple breakpoints.

clearall [<linespec>]

If called with the linespec argument it will delete all the breakpoints matching the linespec. If linespec is omitted all breakpoints are deleted.

condition

Set breakpoint condition.

condition <breakpoint name or id> <boolean expression>.

Specifies that the breakpoint or tracepoint should break only if the boolean expression is true.

Aliases: cond

config

Changes configuration parameters.

config -list

Show all configuration parameters.

config -save

Saves the configuration file to disk, overwriting the current configuration file.

config <parameter> <value>

Changes the value of a configuration parameter.

config substitute-path <from> <to>
config substitute-path <from>

Adds or removes a path substitution rule.

config alias <command> <alias>
config alias <alias>

Defines as an alias to or removes an alias.

continue

Run until breakpoint or program termination.

Aliases: c

deferred

Executes command in the context of a deferred call.

deferred <n> <command>

Executes the specified command (print, args, locals) in the context of the n-th deferred call in the current frame.

disassemble

Disassembler.

[goroutine <n>] [frame <m>] disassemble [-a <start> <end>] [-l <locspec>]

If no argument is specified the function being executed in the selected stack frame will be executed.

-a <start> <end>	disassembles the specified address range
-l <locspec>		disassembles the specified function

Aliases: disass

down

Move the current frame down.

down [<m>]
down [<m>] <command>

Move the current frame down by . The second form runs the command on the given frame.

edit

Open where you are in $DELVE_EDITOR or $EDITOR

edit [locspec]

If locspec is omitted edit will open the current source file in the editor, otherwise it will open the specified location.

Aliases: ed

exit

Exit the debugger.

exit [-c]

When connected to a headless instance started with the --accept-multiclient, pass -c to resume the execution of the target process before disconnecting.

Aliases: quit q

frame

Set the current frame, or execute command on a different frame.

frame <m>
frame <m> <command>

The first form sets frame used by subsequent commands such as "print" or "set". The second form runs the command on the given frame.

funcs

Print list of functions.

funcs [<regex>]

If regex is specified only the functions matching it will be returned.

goroutine

Shows or changes current goroutine

goroutine
goroutine <id>
goroutine <id> <command>

Called without arguments it will show information about the current goroutine. Called with a single argument it will switch to the specified goroutine. Called with more arguments it will execute a command on the specified goroutine.

goroutines

List program goroutines.

goroutines [-u (default: user location)|-r (runtime location)|-g (go statement location)|-s (start location)] [ -t (stack trace)]

Print out info for every goroutine. The flag controls what information is shown along with each goroutine:

-u	displays location of topmost stackframe in user code
-r	displays location of topmost stackframe (including frames inside private runtime functions)
-g	displays location of go instruction that created the goroutine
-s	displays location of the start function
-t	displays stack trace of goroutine

If no flag is specified the default is -u.
