This command provides runtime debugging output for variables and commands without the need to edit your
code. For variables, the underlying mechanism uses trace and dump var. For commands, it renames the
observed procedure and uses a special wrapper procedure. WARNING: using this procedure after
checkpointing state will result in major problems if you clean state because the renamed (true) commands
will be lost.
This procedure is experimental. Comments are encouraged.
observecommandcmdname ?maxlevel?
This will create a wrapper command which prints out (using dump) the call stack to the console.
maxlevel represents the maximum number of levels of the call stack which will be printed (defaults
to 4).
observecdeletecmdname
Removes the wrapper around an observed command.
observecinfocmdname
Prints out useless info.
observevariablevarnameoperation ?args?
Currently a wrapper around trace that uses dump to print out the value of the named variable
whenever the specified operation on that variable occurs (must be read, write or unset).
observevdeletevarnameoperation
Deletes the trace wrapper around the named variable.
observevinfovarname
Prints out trace info about the named variable.
