The lldbutil modules define some lldb commands +that are handy for debugging Gecko. + +If you want to add a new command or Python-implemented type summary, either add +it to one of the existing broad area Python files (such as lldbutils/layout.py +for layout-related commands) or create a new file if none of the existing files +is appropriate. If you add a new file, make sure you add it to __all__ in +lldbutils/__init__.py. + + +Supported commands +------------------ + +Most commands below that can take a pointer to an object also support being +called with a smart pointer like nsRefPtr or nsCOMPtr. + + +* frametree EXPR, ft EXPR + frametreelimited EXPR, ftl EXPR + + Shows information about a frame tree.
