| .Sh DESCRIPTION \" Section Header - required - don't modify |
| .Nm |
| is the command line interface for the LLDB debugger library. |
| .Nm |
| can debug C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ programs. |
| .Pp |
| The following options are available: |
| .Bl -tag -width indent |
| .It Fl h, -help |
| Prints out the usage information for the |
| .Nm |
| debugger. |
| .It Fl v, -version |
| Prints out the version number of the |
| .Nm |
| debugger. |
| .It Fl a, -arch Ar arch |
| Specifies which architecture |
| .Nm |
| will use when launching the specified program (assuming the provided |
| executable is built for multiple architectures.) |
| .It Fl f, -file Ar filename |
| Specifies the executable file that |
| .nm |
| will be launching / attaching to. |
| .It Fl n, -attach-name Ar process-name |
| Specifies the name of a currently-running process to attach to. |
| (or the name of a process to wait for if \fB\-w\fR is used.) |
| .It Fl w, -wait-for |
| When used in concert with \&\fB\-n process-name\-E\fR, indicates that |
| .Nm |
| should wait for a new process of that name to be started -- and attach |
| to it as early in the process-launch as possible. |
| .It Fl p, -attach-pid Ar pid |
| Specifies a currently running process that |
| .Nm |
| should attach to. |
| .It Fl l, -script-language Ar language |
| Tells the debugger to use the specified scripting language for |
| user-defined scripts, rather than the default. Valid scripting |
| languages that can be specified include Python, Perl, Ruby and Tcl. |
| Currently only the Python extensions have been implemented. |
| .It Fl d, -debug |
| Tells the debugger to print out extra information for debugging itself. |
| .It Fl s, -source Ar filename |
| Tells |
| .Nm |
| to read in and execute the file "\fBfilename\fR", which |
| should contain |
| .Nm |
| commands. |
| .It Fl e, -editor |
| Instructs |
| .Nm |
| to open source files using the host's "external editor" mechanism. |
| .It Fl x, -no-lldbinit |
| Do not automatically parse any '.lldbinit' files. |
| .Pp |
| (If you don't provide -f then the first argument will be the file to be debugged |
| so 'lldb -- <filename> [<ARG1> [<ARG2>]]' also works. |
| Remember to end the options with "--" if any of your arguments have a "-" in them.) |

| .Sh SEE ALSO |
| The LLDB project page http://lldb.llvm.org/ has many different resources for |
| .Nm |
| users -- the gdb/lldb command equivalence page http://lldb.llvm.org/lldb-gdb.html can |
| be especially helpful for users coming from gdb. |
