This is the Read Me for the aevt dcmd, a MacsBug tool that displays a formatted listing of an AppleEvent record.
Changes for version 1.1b4:
Added formatted display of aliases. Normal display is as a file path on a single line. With -v (verbose) option displayed as cascading path list.
Changes for version 1.1b3:
Now displays kCurrentProcess or kSystemProcess in addition to the actual process name.
General cleanup in formatting of displays.
Added a macro - WatchAppleEvents.
It sets atb and tvb breaks on AESend, then calls 'aevt -m' each time they are hit.
Changes for version 1.1b2:
Added -m (minimal) display option. This option will display the event as:
clas/IDID -> "ProcessName"
Added quotes (") around process name.
Changes for version 1.1b1:
Added auto sensing for ISA and AppleEvent record location. Now, if you are breaking on AESend(), the address of the AppleEvent record is optional. Simply type aevt to get a listing of the contents of the AppleEvent record which is the direct parameter to AESend(). When used in other situations enter the address of the AppleEvent record you wish to display.
Added a -v (Verbose) display option. By default this dcmd provides a basic view of of an AppleEvent record. By adding the -v option you will be provided with a more complete listing of information and attributes for the Apple event you are viewing.
