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