<p>The LLDB API is contained in a python module named <b>lldb</b>. Help is available through the standard python help and documentation. To get an overview of the <b>lldb</b> python module you can execute the following command:</p>
<code><pre><tt>(lldb) <b>script help(lldb)</b>
Help on package lldb:

<p>You can also get help using a module class name. The full API that is exposed for that class will be displayed in a man page style window. Below we want to get help on the lldb.SBFrame class:</p>
<code><pre><tt>(lldb) <b>script help(lldb.SBFrame)</b>
Help on class SBFrame in module lldb:
class SBFrame(__builtin__.object)
| Represents one of the stack frames associated with a thread.
| SBThread contains SBFrame(s). For example (from test/lldbutil.py),
|
| def print_stacktrace(thread, string_buffer = False):
| '''Prints a simple stack trace of this thread.'''
|
...
</tt></pre></code>
<p>Or you can get help using any python object, here we use the <b>lldb.process</b> object which is a global variable in the <b>lldb</b> module which represents the currently selected process:</p>
<code><pre><tt>(lldb) <b>script help(lldb.process)</b>
Help on SBProcess in module lldb object:
class SBProcess(__builtin__.object)
