It has a similar command interface as gdb. + +The purpose of the BASH debugger is to help you catch bugs in the act: + + * Start your script, specifying anything that might affect its behavior. + * Make your script stop on specified conditions. + * Examine what has happened, when your script has stopped. + * Change things in your script, so you can experiment with correcting the + effects of one bug and go on to learn about another. + +Read the INSTALL file in the source directory for instructions if you wish to +enable readarray support. readarray speeds up initial loading of large scripts. + |
