lldb command help broken?

Subprojects LLDB

Hi,

If I try to invoke the help on a memory/register lldb refuses to
cooperate if I have no target loaded:

(lldb) memory write help
error: invalid target, create a target using the 'target create' command
(lldb) memory read help
error: invalid target, create a target using the 'target create' command
(lldb) register read help
error: invalid target, create a target using the 'target create' command
(lldb)

Is this a bug? (It must me... surely we can print help for commands in a
target agnostic way...)

Hey Matt - It's the other way round;

help <command>

i.e.:

(lldb) help memory write
    Write to the memory of the process being debugged.

Syntax: memory write <cmd-options> <address> <value> [<value> [...]]

Command Options Usage:
   memory write [-f <format>] [-s <byte-size>] <address> <value> [<value> [...]]

Cheers,
Colin

Cool, thanks Colin!

I'm sure I know that one once - but I think that my grey matter is going
stale or something!
