SYNOPSIS

       winpdb, rpdb2 [-h, --help]  [-d, --debuggee]  [-a, --attach]  [-o, --host]  [-r, --remote]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winpdb and rpdb2 commands.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.

       winpdb is a GUI frontend to rpdb2, a remote debugger for python, which is capable to debug
       threads- and curses-based code.

OPTIONS

       These  programs  follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
       two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is included below.

       -h           --help
                 Print the program's help.

       -d           --debuggee
                 Start debuggee and break into it, without starting a debugger console.

       -a           --attach
                 Attach to an already started debuggee.

       -o           --host
                 Specify host for attachment.

       -r           --remote
                 Allow debuggees to accept connections from remote machines.

       -e           --encrypt
                 Force encrypted connections between debugger and debuggees.

       -p           --pwd
                 Password. This flag is available only on  NT  systems.   On  other  systems  the
                 password will be queried interactively if it is needed.

       -s           --screen
                 Use the Unix screen utility when spawning the debuggee.

       -c           --chdir
                 Change the working directory to that of the launched script.

       --debug   Debug prints.
