The ocaml source-level replay debugger.
ocamldebug [options]program[arguments]
ocamldebug is the OCaml source-level replay debugger.
Before the debugger can be used, the program must be compiled and linked with the -g option: all .cmo and .cma files that are part of the program should have been created with ocamlc-g, and they must be linked together with ocamlc-g.
Compiling with -g entails no penalty on the running time of programs: object files and bytecode executable files are bigger and take longer to produce, but the executable files run at exactly the same speed as if they had been compiled without -g.
A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see the html documentation in the ocaml-doc package.
-ccount
Set the maximum number of simultaneously live checkpoints to count.
-cddir
Run the debugger program from the working directory dir, instead of the current working directory. (See also the cd command.)
-emacs
Tell the debugger it is executed under Emacs. (See The OCaml user's manual for information on how to run the debugger under Emacs.)
-Idirectory
Add directory to the list of directories searched for source files and compiled files. (See also the directory command.)
-ssocket
Use socket for communicating with the debugged program. See the description of the command set socket in The OCaml user's manual for the format of socket.
-version
Print version string and exit.
-vnum
Print short version number and exit.
-helpor--help
Display a short usage summary and exit.
