Maxima Manual

39.2 Keyword Commands

Break commands start with ':'. Thus to evaluate a lisp form you may type :lisp followed by the argument which is the form to be evaluated.

(C3) :lisp (+ 2 3) 5

The number of arguments taken depends on the particular command. Also you need not type the whole command, just enough to be unique among the keyword commands. Thus :br would suffice for :break. The current commands are:

:break

Set a breakpoint in the specified FUNCTION at the specified LINE offset from the beginning of the function. If FUNCTION is given as a string, then it is presumed to be a FILE and LINE is the offset from the beginning of the file.

:bt

Undocumented

:continue

Continue the computation.

:delete

Delete all breakpoints, or if arguments are supplied delete the specified breakpoints

:disable

Disable the specified breakpoints, or all if none are specified

:enable

Enable the specified breakpoints, or all if none are specified

:frame

With an argument print the selected stack frame. Otherwise the current frame.

:help

Print help on a break command or with no arguments on all break commands

:info

:lisp

:lisp-quiet
