+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Devices and kernel modules can add new commands to the
+.Xr ddb 4
+in-kernel debugger with
+.Fn db_register_tbl
+and remove previously added commands with
+.Fn db_unregister_tbl
+respectively.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa type
+argument is one of:
+.Bl -tag -offset indent -width Dv
+.\"
+.It Dv DDB_BASE_CMD
+top-level commands;
+.\"
+.It Dv DDB_MACH_CMD
+sub-commands of the top-level
+.Ic mach
+command;
+.\"
+.It Dv DDB_SHOW_CMD
+sub-commands of the top-level
+.Ic show
+command.
+.\"
+.El
+.\"
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa commands
+is an array of
+.Vt struct db_command\|
+entries.
+The initializer list for the array should use the
+.Fn DDB_ADD_CMD
+macro for its entries.
+The
+.Fa name
+is the name of the debugger command.
+An entry with
+.Dv NULL
+.Fa name
+terminates the array.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa pf
+argument is the function that implements the command.
+The debugger's
+.Tn REPL
+parses the usual command format documented in
+.Xr ddb 4
+and invokes the implementation with the values obtained.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa flags
+argument is a bitwise
+.Tn OR
+of the following values:
+.Bl -tag -offset indent -width Dv
+.\"
+.It Dv CS_MORE
+The command takes the usual arguments but may additionally parse the
+remainder of its command line.
+.\"
+.It Dv CS_NOREPEAT
+The command should not be automatically repeated by the
+.Tn REPL
+when user enters an empty command after it.
+.\"
+.It Dv CS_OWN
+The command doesn't follow the normal
+.Xr ddb 4
+conventions and parses its command line itself.
+The
+.Tn REPL
+doesn't try to parse the command line.
+The values passed to its implementation are dummies.
+.\"
+.It Dv CS_SET_DOT
+The command sets the
+.Va dot .
+.\"
+.El
+.\"
+.Pp
+The remaining parameters are strings that provide documentation for
+the command and its arguments.
+That documentation is available to the user via
+.Ic help
+command if the kernel was compiled with
+.Dv DDB_VERBOSE_HELP
+option.
