pxdb and chatr

Is 'pxdb -s on
the same as
'chatr +dbg enable ?

The man page for chatr states:

+dbg flag Controls the mapping of shared library text segments privately. The flag toggles the request on and off.
When enabled, this allows for mapping the text segments of shared libraries in a private, writtable region.

Thanks,
Michael.
The nice thing about computers is that they do exactly what you tell them. The problem with computers is that they do EXACTLY what you tell them.

Yes. They both manipulate the same bit. The pxdb method has been around longer. The chatr +dbg option is relatively new, appearing about two years ago.
