NAME

       kdbg - a graphical debugger interface

SYNOPSIS

       kdbg [ generic-options ] [ -t file ] [ -r device ] [ -l language ] [ -p pid ] [ program ] [ core ]

DESCRIPTION

       KDbg  is a graphical user interface to gdb, the GNU debugger.  It provides an intuitive interface for setting breakpoints, inspecting vari-
       ables, stepping through code and much more.  KDbg requires KDE but you can of course debug any program.

       KDbg can also debug XSLT (XML stylesheet translation) scripts by interfacing with xsldbg.  Debian users must install the kxsldbg package to
       make use of this feature.

       You can pass KDbg the path of the executable to debug (program) or a core dump to debug (core).

       Features of KDbg include:

	      Inspection of variable values in a tree structure.

	      Direct  member: For certain compound data types the most important member values are displayed next to the variable name, so that it
	      is not necessary to expand the subtree of that variable in order to see the member value.  KDbg can also display Qt's  QString  val-
	      ues, which are Unicode strings.

	      Debugger at your finger tips: The basic debugger functions (step, next, run, finish, until, set/clear/enable/disable breakpoint) are
	      bound to function keys F5 through F10.  Quick and easy.

	      View source code, search text, set program arguments and environment variables, display arbitrary expressions.

	      Debugging of core dumps, attaching to running processes is possible.

	      Conditional breakpoints.

OPTIONS

       Below are the kdbg-specific options.  For a full summary of options, run kdbg --help.

       -t file
	      Write a transcript of the conversation with the debugger to the given file.

       -r device
	      Use remote debugging via the given device.

       -l language
	      Specify the language of the program/script to debug.  This must be either C (for a C/C++ program) or XSL (for an XSLT  script).	If
	      this option is not passed then KDbg will try to deduce the language from the given filename.

       -p pid Attach to the process with the given process ID.

SEE ALSO

       gdb(1), xsldbg(1).

       Full  user  documentation  is  available  through  the  KDE  Help Centre.  Alternatively the HTML documentation can be viewed directly from
       /usr/share/doc/kdbg/html/.

NAME

       winpdb, rpdb2 -- platform independent Python debugger

SYNOPSIS

       winpdb,	rpdb2  [-h,  --help]  [-d, --debuggee]	[-a, --attach]	[-o, --host]  [-r, --remote]  [-e, --encrypt]  [-p, --pwd]  [-s, --screen]
       [-c, --chdir]  [--debug]  [[<script-name> [<script-args>...]]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winpdb and rpdb2 commands.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       winpdb is a GUI frontend to rpdb2, a remote debugger for python, which is capable to debug threads- and curses-based code.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       -h	    --help
		 Print the program's help.

       -d	    --debuggee
		 Start debuggee and break into it, without starting a debugger console.

       -a	    --attach
		 Attach to an already started debuggee.

       -o	    --host
		 Specify host for attachment.

       -r	    --remote
		 Allow debuggees to accept connections from remote machines.

       -e	    --encrypt
		 Force encrypted connections between debugger and debuggees.

       -p	    --pwd
		 Password.  This  flag	is  available  only  on  NT systems.  On other systems the password will be queried interactively if it is
		 needed.

       -s	    --screen
		 Use the Unix screen utility when spawning the debuggee.

       -c	    --chdir
		 Change the working directory to that of the launched script.

       --debug	 Debug prints.
