psbrowser - Mjolner BETA Persistent Store Browser
psbrowser
The Mjolner BETA Persistent Store Browser is available as
part of the Mjolner System from Mjolner Informatics.
psbrowser is a generic object browser for browsing in the
object structures stored in a persistent store.
The psbrowser is specialized to browse objects found in a
persistent store (~beta/persistentstore/). Psbrowser is
able to browse objects whose code is not linked int o the
browser executable.
Having launched the psbrowser, your next move is to open a
persistent store. Do so by selecting "Open..." from the
"File" menu. In the resulting dialog, enter the name of the
persistent store and click the "Ok" button. A nested
rootlist listing the names of the persistent roots will ap-
pear. The name of the rootlist window corresponds to the
name of the persistent store. It is allowed to open multiple
persistent stores at a time.
To open a window showing a persistent root object, double-
click the name of that root in the rootlist. An ObjectView
showing the root object will appear.
The objectview uses abstract presentation of the objects
presented. This means that nested partobjects are initially
shown contracted, i.e. as three dots. By double-clicking a
line of the object view ending in '...', the hidden details
will be shown. By double-clicking the same line again, the
details are hidden.
Each line in the objectview corresponds to some attribute of
the object. Simple attributes (@Char, @Integer, ...) cannot
be further detailed, whereas other kinds of attributes can.
It is not possible to browse stores created on architectures
with an endian different from that of the machine runnning
the psbrowser (e.g. between Intel on the one hand and either
Motorola, HP-PA, SGI-MIPS or SPARC on the other hand).
However, it is a requirement that the persistent store is
created, using the so-called 'full name patch'.
See the file ~beta/objectbrowser/psbrowser/README for more
information on how to use psbrowser.
