Passes control of your terminal from the current process to
    another process.

                                   NOTE

       This command is not available in the VSI DECwindows Motif for
       OpenVMS user interface to the debugger.

    Format

      ATTACH  process-name

1  –  Parameters

 process-name

    Specifies the process to which your terminal is to be attached.
    The process must already exist before you try to attach to it.
    If the process name contains nonalphanumeric or space characters,
    you must enclose it in quotation marks (").

2  –  Description

    The ATTACH command enables you to go back and forth between
    a debugging session and your command interpreter, or between
    two debugging sessions. To do so, you must first use the SPAWN
    command to create a subprocess. You can then attach to it
    whenever you want. To return to your original process with
    minimal system overhead, use another ATTACH command.

    1.DBG> SPAWN
      $ ATTACH JONES
      %DEBUG-I-RETURNED, control returned to process JONES
      DBG> ATTACH JONES_1
      $

      In this example, the series of commands creates a subprocess
      named
      JONES_1 from the debugger (currently running in the process
      JONES) and then attaches to that subprocess.

    2.DBG> ATTACH "Alpha One"
      $

      This example illustrates using quotation marks to enclose a
      process name that contains a space character.
