SABERTOOL(1)  —  Saber-C Manual Pages

NAME

sabertool − Start the SunView version of the Saber-C Programming Environment

SYNOPSIS

<install-dir>/Saber/bin/sabertool [switches] [filename ...]

DESCRIPTION

Saber-C is an integrated programming environment for the C language.  It consists of a C interpreter, a source-level debugger, a static and run-time program checker, and an incremental linker/loader - all integrated into a single interactive environment.  Saber-C is designed to reduce the time and effort involved in developing, testing, debugging and maintaining C programs. 

You can run Saber-C in two basic ways:

o Graphically, under the X Window System or the SunView windowing system.  This provides a complete multiple-window development environment. You can use the mouse to set breakpoints, examine the values of variables, control program execution, examine source files, select commands, etc.  Several graphical browsers make it easy to explore your program’s logic and data structures. 

o As a character-based product (Ascii Saber-C) that can run on terminals that don’t support graphics. This version supports a command-line interface in its workspace. 

STARTING SABER-C

The Saber-C startup command is in <install-dir>/Saber/bin.  You can start Saber-C either by typing the absolute pathname of the startup command or by putting Saber/bin on your path.  See your system administrator if you don’t know where the Saber/bin directory is on your system. 

To run  Saber-C graphically under the X Window System, type xsaber. 

To run Saber-C under SunView, type sabertool. 

To run Ascii Saber-C, type saber. 

DOCUMENTATION

See the Saber-C manuals and Release Notes for complete information about using Saber-C. Online Help is available through the help and man commands.
