mx-highlight-entity

We can use the mx-highlight-entity to show us the code associated an entity. For example:

% mx-list-structures --db /tmp/curl.db
...
1152921504606847021 2305843009214747660 9266156238696087552 idtype_t::(anonymous enum)
    9263904438882402304 P_ALL
    9263904438882402305 P_PID
    9263904438882402306 P_PGID
...

Above, we see that the entity 9266156238696087552 is an anonymous enum inside of idtype_t. Using mx-highlight-entity, we can better see what this looks like:

% mx-highlight-entity --db /tmp/curl.db --entity_id 9266156238696087552

The output is as follows:

This structure is an anonymous enum defined in the declarator of a typedef named idtype_t.
