Starting the Debugger in Command Line Mode

On systems running Linux* OS, the debugger runs in GUI mode by default. You can also run the debugger on these systems without the GUI, in command line mode. On systems running OS X*, the debugger runs in command line mode only.

Note

The command described below is only enabled when you run the script that sets up the compiler environment as described in the Getting Started document for the compiler.

  1. To start the debugger in command line mode, enter the following in a shell:

    For systems running Linux* OS: idbc

    For systems running OS X*: idb

    The debugger starts running.

  2. To view a list of options for this command, enter the following command in a shell:

    For systems running Linux* OS:idbc --help
