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. +.RE +.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. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR gdb (1), +.BR xsldbg (1). +.PP +Full user documentation is available through the TDE Help Centre. +Alternatively the HTML documentation can be viewed directly from +\fI/opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/<lang>/kdbg/\fP. +.SH AUTHOR +KDbg was written by Johannes Sixt <[email protected]>. +.br +This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton <[email protected]> +for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). |
