How to run an external command from lldb prompt


Does lldb have an equivalent for gdb's shell command to run external commands from the prompt? (see How can I execute external commands from the gdb command prompt?)


Solution

  • This might be what you're looking for...

    (lldb) help platform shell
         Run a shell command on a the selected platform.  This command takes 'raw'
         input (no need to quote stuff).
    
    Syntax: platform shell <shell-command>
    
    Command Options Usage:
      platform shell [-t <value>]
    
           -t <value> ( --timeout <value> )
                Seconds to wait for the remote host to finish running the command.
    
    IMPORTANT NOTE:  Because this command takes 'raw' input, if you use any
         command options you must use ' -- ' between the end of the command options
         and the beginning of the raw input.
