<h4 class="subsection">5.1.1 Debugger Banner</h4>

<p>When you enter the debugger, it looks something like this:

<pre class="example">     debugger invoked on a TYPE-ERROR in thread 11184:
       The value 3 is not of type LIST.
     
     You can type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.
     
     restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
       0: [ABORT   ] Reduce debugger level (leaving debugger, returning to toplevel).
       1: [TOPLEVEL] Restart at toplevel READ/EVAL/PRINT loop.
     (CAR 1 3)
     0]
</pre>
   <p>The first group of lines describe what the error was that put us in
the debugger.  In this case <code>car</code> was called on <code>3</code>, causing
a <code>type-error</code>.

   <p>This is followed by the &ldquo;beginner help line&rdquo;, which appears only if
<code>sb-ext:*debugger-beginner-help*</code> is true (default).

   <p>Next comes a listing of the active restart names, along with their
descriptions &ndash; the ways we can restart execution after this error. In
this case, both options return to top-level. Restarts can be selected
by entering the corresponding number or name.

   <p>The current frame appears right underneath the restarts, immediately
followed by the debugger prompt.
