NAME
debugapp - A wrapper for openapp.
SYNOPSIS
debugapp [--find] [--gdb=...] application [arguments...]
DESCRIPTION
debugapp is a tool that helps you start or find applications by name in
debugging mode. It acts as a wrapper around openapp , and calls openapp
with the --debug option; we recommend using openapp directly.
By default gdb is used as the debugger, but this can be changed with the
--gdb= option or through the GDB environment variable.
The arguments are the arguments passed to the application.
See the openapp (1) man-page for a complete description.
