3  v.wait [<ms>]           : sleep <ms> (default 0) then continue
4  v.info all_errors       : show all errors found so far
5  v.info last_error       : show last error found
6  v.info location <addr>  : show information about location <addr>
7  v.info n_errs_found [msg] : show the nr of errors found so far and the given msg
8  v.info open_fds         : show open file descriptors (only if --track-fds=yes)
9  v.kill                  : kill the Valgrind process
10  v.set gdb_output        : set valgrind output to gdb
11  v.set log_output        : set valgrind output to log

16  xb <addr> [<len>]
17        prints validity bits for <len> (or 1) bytes at <addr>
18            bit values 0 = valid, 1 = invalid, __ = unaddressable byte
19        Then prints the bytes values below the corresponding validity bits
20        in a layout similar to the gdb command 'x /<len>xb <addr>'
21        Example: xb 0x........ 10
22  get_vbits <addr> [<len>]
23        Similar to xb, but only prints the validity bytes by group of 4.
24  make_memory [noaccess|undefined
25                     |defined|Definedifaddressable] <addr> [<len>]
26        mark <len> (or 1) bytes at <addr> with the given accessibility
27  check_memory [addressable|defined] <addr> [<len>]
28        check that <len> (or 1) bytes at <addr> have the given accessibility
29            and outputs a description of <addr>

46                [heuristics heur1,heur2,...]
47        after a leak search, shows the list of blocks of <loss_record_nr>
48        (or of the range <loss_record_nr_from>..<loss_record_nr_to>).
49        With heuristics, only shows the blocks found via heur1,heur2,...
50            * = defaults
51  who_points_at <addr> [<len>]
52        shows places pointing inside <len> (default 1) bytes at <addr>
53        (with len 1, only shows "start pointers" pointing exactly to <addr>,
54         with len > 1, will also show "interior pointers")
