1This package contains formatted man pages on various C programming
2debugging utilities, such as:
3
4          addr2line - translates program addresses into file names and line
5          numbers. Given an address and an executable, it uses the debugging
6          information in the executable to figure out which file name and
7          line number are associated with a given address;
8
9          gcov - displays basic block profile / coverage data, if requested
10          via the C compiler gcc(1) command line options -fprofile-arcs and
11          -ftest-coverage. These options cause the compiler to insert
12          instrumentation into the object files it generates, which measure
13          how often each basic block is executed;
14
15          gdb - is the GNU debugger. The purpose of a debugger such as GDB
16          is to allow you to see what is going on ``inside'' another program
17          while it executes, or what another program was doing at the moment
18          it crashed;
19
20          gprof - displays call graph profile data. gprof produces an
21          execution profile of C, Pascal, or Fortran77 programs.
