NAME

       ebug-client - Debugger client for remote debugging Perl script

SYNOPSIS

       ebug-client -key <secret> -port <port>

DESCRIPTION

       ebug-client is an debugger front end for attaching to remotely executing perl script, running on ebug-
       server.

       To invoke ebug-client, you must first invoke ebug-server to run debuggee and generate "key" and "port"
       needed for connection.  When ebug-server is invoked, it will show exact command-line to invoke ebug-
       client.

EXAMPLE

        # Attach to ebug-server running on port 4023, with key "begripra"
        $ ebug-client -key begripra -port 4023

NOTE

       Currently, you cannot "restart" debuggee. You'll need to restart one manually by re-invoking both ebug-
       server and ebug-client.

       Since Devel::ebug::Backend listens to "localhost" socket, you will need to relay I/O using tool like
       socat for true remote debugging.

       Internally, thanks for it being free software, it is almost a complete ripoff of Devel::ebug source.
