.SH NAME
kdbg \- a graphical debugger interface
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kdbg
[ \fIgeneric-options\fP ]
[ \fB\-t\fP \fIfile\fP ] [ \fB\-r\fP \fIdevice\fP ]
[ \fB\-l\fP \fIlanguage\fP ] [ \fB\-p\fP \fIpid\fP ]
[ \fIprogram\fP ] [ \fIcore\fP ]
.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.
.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.
