debugapp (1) Linux Manual Page
NAME
debugapp – A wrapper for openapp.
SYNOPSIS
debugapp [–find] [–gdb=…] application [arguments…]
DESCRIPTION
debugapp is a tool that helps you start or find applications by name in debugging mode. It acts as a wrapper around openapp , and calls openapp with the –debug option; we recommend using openapp directly.
By default gdb is used as the debugger, but this can be changed with the –gdb= option or through the GDB environment variable.
The arguments are the arguments passed to the application.
See the openapp (1) man-page for a complete description.
