NAME

       ocamldebug - the OCaml source-level replay debugger.

SYNOPSIS

       ocamldebug [ options ] program [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       A  summary  of  options  are  included  below.   For  a complete description, see the html
       documentation in the ocaml-doc package.

       -c count
              Set the maximum number of simultaneously live checkpoints to count.

       -cd dir
              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.)  Implies -machine-readable.

       -I directory
              Add directory to the list of directories searched for  source  files  and  compiled
              files.  (See also the directory command.)

       -machine-readable
              Print information in a format more suitable for machines instead of human operators
              where applicable. For example, when describing a location in  a  program,  such  as
              when printing a backtrace, print the program counter and character offset in a file
              instead of the filename, line number, and character offset in that line.

       -s socket
              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.

       -help or --help
              Display a short usage summary and exit.
