data_align
data_align, file, alignment
in binary file FILE, align new variables to begin at a byte address
which is a multiple of ALIGNMENT. (This affects placement of data
declared using save and add_variable. For add_variable, data_align
has an effect only if the address is not specified.) If ALIGNMENT
is <=0, new variables will be aligned as they would be if they were
data structure members. The default value is 0.

Debug mode.
Yorick errors fall into two general categories: Syntax errors discovered
during parsing, and runtime errors discovered when a Yorick program is
actually running. When a runtime error occurs, Yorick offers the
choice of entering "debug mode", which you can do by typing the
key immediately after the error occurs. Typing a non-blank line exits
debug mode automatically by default. In debug mode, the Yorick prompt
becomes "dbug>" instead of the usual ">". When you see this prompt,
Yorick has halted "in the middle of" the function in which the error
occurred, and you can print, plot, modify, or save the local variables
in that function by means of ordinary Yorick commands. Debug mode is
recursive; that is, you can debug an error which occurred during
debugging to any number of levels.
You can exit from debug mode in several ways:
dbexit -- exit current debug level, discarding all
active functions and their local variables
dbexit, 0 -- exit all debug levels
dbexit, n -- exit (at most) N debug levels
dbcont -- continue execution of the current function
Continuing is useful if you have managed to repair the
problem which caused the error. The expression in which the
error occurred will be evaluated a second time, so beware of
side effects.
dbret, value -- continue execution by returning VALUE (which
may be nil or omitted) to the caller of the
function in which the error occurred.
This is useful if the function in which the error occurred is
hopelessly confounded, but you know the value it should return.
Yorick does not allow "single stepping" directly, although you can
execute the statements in a function by copying them, then tell
Yorick to skip those statements you have executed "by hand". There
are two functions for skipping execution:
dbskip -- skip the next logical line (This will be only
a portion of a source line if several statements
are stacked on the source line.)
dbskip, n -- skip next N (positive or negative) logical lines
dbup -- discard the current function, so that you are
debugging its caller -- there is no way to go
back "down", so be careful
There are two functions which print information (like other print
functions, if called as functions instead of subroutines, their
result is returned as a string array with one line per string):
dbinfo -- returns current function and source line
dbdis -- returns disassembled virtual machine code
for the next line (use the disassemble function
to get the entire function)
This allows you to see exactly where in a line the error occurred.
Finally,
dbauto -- toggles whether debug mode will be entered
automatically when a runtime error occurs
dbauto, 1 -- enter debug mode automatically after an error
dbauto, 0 -- type after error to enter debug mode

dec_primitives
dec_primitives, file
sets FILE primitive data types to be native to DEC (MIPS) workstations.
Interpreted function, defined at i0/std.i line 2881
digitize
digitize(x, bins)
returns an array of longs with dimsof(X), and values i such that
BINS(i-1) <= X < BINS(i) if BINS is monotonically increasing, or
BINS(i-1) > X >= BINS(i) if BINS is monotonically decreasing.
Beyond the bounds of BINS, returns either i=1 or i=numberof(BINS)+1
as appropriate.

dimsof
dimsof(object)
or dimsof(object1, object2, ...)
returns a vector of integers describing the dimensions of OBJECT.
The format of the vector is [number of dims, length1, length2, ...].
The orgsof function returns the origin of each dimension (normally 1).
If more than one argument is given, dimsof returns the dimension
list of the result of binary operations between all the objects,
or nil if the objects are not conformable.

disassemble
disassemble(function)
or disassemble, function
Disassembles the specified function. If called as a function, the
result is returned as a vector of strings; if called as a subroutine,
the disassembly is printed at the terminal. If the function is nil,
the current *main* program is disassembled -- you must include the
call to disassemble in the main program, of course, NOT on its own
line as a separate main program.

dump_clog
dump_clog, file, clog_name
dumps a Contents Log of the binary file FILE into the text file
CLOG_NAME. Any previous file named CLOG_NAME is overwritten.
