I was trying to point out that by adding "mod" to gdb's list of commands, so that I could tell gdb to use filename completion when working on the command line of a "mod" command, I also made it appear to gdb that "mod" was one of its commands (with a dummy do-nothing execution function). Normally crash grabs mod, so gdb never gets a chance to try to execute it. With this patch, if you send "mod" to gdb (with "gdb mod"), gdb will execute it. So the behavior goes from: crash-4.1.0> gdb mod Undefined command: "mod". Try "help". to this with the patch: crash> gdb mod crash> (Just trying to be thorough :-) This technique would allow you to add filename completion to any non-gdb command that might need it. For instance, you can add filename completion to "ls" and "less" (or any of the other "external" commands) in addition to "mod" with: crashcmd_filename_completion("mod"); crashcmd_filename_completion("ls"); crashcmd_filename_completion("less"); Bob Montgomery
