[erlang-questions] How to use Pman for looking at process state

[Ivan Uemlianin]

Dear All

I'm using Pman to look at a running erlang application. Many of the
processes are running functions in receive loops like the following:

myFunc(State) ->
receive
% some clauses defining NewState
end,
myFunc(NewState).

Tracing a process allows me to see the messages received by and sent
from the process. Is there any way I can see the value of State? If
not, is there another to see the value of process variables?

With thanks and best wishes

Ivan

Greetings,

If there is no way to use pman for this I recommend dbg. Trace on
myFunc.
