# 20.8.1 Event handling

It is possible to configure which events should be ignored by the debugger. Aka exceptions.

The 'ie' command refers to 'ignore events'

    [0x4A13B8C0]> !ie
     0 stop
     0 trap
     0 pipe
     0 alarm
     0 fpe
     0 ill

    [0x4A13B8C0]> !ie stop
    [0x4A13B8C0]> !ie | grep stop
     1 stop

This is usually used to bypass some packer protections that relay on some events. So this way you can skip them just with '!ie stop' or '!ie -stop'.
