OCAMLDEBUG(1) General Commands Manual OCAMLDEBUG(1)
NAME
ocamldebug - the OCaml source-level replay debugger.
SYNOPSIS
ocamldebug [ options ] program [ arguments ]
DESCRIPTION
ocamldebug is the OCaml source-level replay debugger.
Before the debugger can be used, the program must be compiled and
linked with the -g option: all .cmo and .cma files that are part of the
program should have been created with ocamlc -g, and they must be
linked together with ocamlc -g.
Compiling with -g entails no penalty on the running time of programs:
object files and bytecode executable files are bigger and take longer
to produce, but the executable files run at exactly the same speed as
if they had been compiled without -g.
OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below. For a complete description,
see the html documentation in the ocaml-doc package.
-c count
Set the maximum number of simultaneously live checkpoints to
count.
-cd dir
Run the debugger program from the working directory dir, instead
of the current working directory. (See also the cd command.)
-emacs Tell the debugger it is executed under Emacs. (See The OCaml
user's manual for information on how to run the debugger under
Emacs.) Implies -machine-readable.
-I directory
Add directory to the list of directories searched for source
files and compiled files. (See also the directory command.)
-machine-readable
Print information in a format more suitable for machines instead
of human operators where applicable. For example, when describ-
ing a location in a program, such as when printing a backtrace,
print the program counter and character offset in a file instead
of the filename, line number, and character offset in that line.
-s socket
Use socket for communicating with the debugged program. See the
description of the command set socket in The OCaml user's manual
for the format of socket.
-version
Print version string and exit.
-vnum Print short version number and exit.
-help or --help
Display a short usage summary and exit.
INITIALIZATION FILE
When ocamldebug(1) is invoked, it will read commands from an initial-
ization file before giving control to the user. The default file is
.ocamldebug in the current directory if it exists, otherwise .ocamlde-
bug in the user's home directory.
Note that you can also use the source file command to read commands
from a file.
