Node.js helpers
Syntax: v8
The following subcommands are supported:
bt -- Show a backtrace with node.js JavaScript functions and their args. An optional argument is accepted; if
that argument is a number, it specifies the number of frames to display. Otherwise all frames will be
dumped.
Syntax: v8 bt [number]
findjsinstances -- List all objects which share the specified map.
Accepts the same options as `v8 inspect`
findjsobjects -- List all object types and instance counts grouped by map and sorted by instance count.
Requires `LLNODE_RANGESFILE` environment variable to be set to a file containing memory ranges for the
core file being debugged.
There are scripts for generating this file on Linux and Mac in the scripts directory of the llnode
repository.
findrefs -- Find all the objects that refer to the specified object.
inspect -- Print detailed description and contents of the JavaScript value.
Possible flags (all optional):
* -F, --full-string - print whole string without adding ellipsis
* -m, --print-map - print object's map address
* -s, --print-source - print source code for function objects
* --string-length num - print maximum of `num` characters in string
Syntax: v8 inspect [flags] expr
nodeinfo -- Print information about Node.js
print -- Print short description of the JavaScript value.
Syntax: v8 print expr
source -- Source code information
For more help on any particular subcommand, type 'help <command> <subcommand>'.
