NAME
feathers – a simple source-level debugger for CHICKEN Scheme
SYNOPSIS
feathers [OPTION …] [PROGRAM ARGUMENTS …]
DESCRIPTION
feathers runs a program compiled with CHICKEN Scheme and allows basic source-level debugging like setting breakpoints, single-stepping and inspection of procedure arguments and global variables.
The Scheme code must be compiled with debug-level 3 for debugging to be possible. Communication with the debugger takes place by exchanging messages over a TCP socket, the address and port being given by the environment variable CHICKEN_DEBUGGER which holds a connection address of the form <ADDRESS>:<PORT>
OPTIONS
-help- Shows a list of supported command-line options.
-n- Do not load the default startup file
.feathers -port PORT- Select a different TCP port than the default (9999)
-dir DIRECTORY- Add
DIRECTORYto the list of searched paths for locating source files
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
CHICKEN_DEBUGGER- Should hold a TCP server address and port where the debugger is listening. This variable is set by the debugger when a program is run from it, and defaults to
localhost:9999
DOCUMENTATION
More information can be found in the CHICKEN User’s Manual
