1This package contains the man pages groff source 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.
