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