.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fBKDbg\fP is a graphical user interface to \fBgdb\fP, the GNU debugger. It
|
||
|
|
provides an intuitive interface for setting breakpoints, inspecting
|
||
|
|
variables, stepping through code and much more. KDbg requires TDE but
|
||
|
|
you can of course debug any program.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
KDbg can also debug XSLT (XML stylesheet translation) scripts by
|
||
|
|
interfacing with \fBxsldbg\fP. Debian users must install the \fIkxsldbg\fP
|
||
|
|
package to make use of this feature.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
You can pass KDbg the path of the executable to debug (\fIprogram\fP) or
|
||
|
|
a core dump to debug (\fIcore\fP).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Features of KDbg include:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||
|
|
Inspection of variable values in a tree structure.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
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 values, which
|
||
|
|
are Unicode strings.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
View source code, search text, set program arguments and environment
|
||
|
|
variables, display arbitrary expressions.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Debugging of core dumps, attaching to running processes is possible.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Conditional breakpoints.

.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
Below are the kdbg-specific options.
|
||
|
|
For a full summary of options, run \fIkdbg \-\-help\fP.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-t\fP \fIfile\fP
|
||
|
|
Write a transcript of the conversation with the debugger to the given
|
||
|
|
file.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-r\fP \fIdevice\fP
|
||
|
|
Use remote debugging via the given device.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-l\fP \fIlanguage\fP
|
||
|
|
Specify the language of the program/script to debug.
|
||
|
|
This must be either \fIC\fP (for a C/C++ program) or
|
||
|
|
\fIXSL\fP (for an XSLT script).
|
||
|
|
If this option is not passed then KDbg will try to deduce the language
|
||
|
|
from the given filename.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-p\fP \fIpid\fP
|
||
|

Attach to the process with the given process ID.
